If I had a nickel for every time I heard that

More closeups of a nickel. Once again, there are no hard edges in the small world. No lines. Everything is round-edged, round cornered, lumpy, chipped, dented. This looks like a coin unearthed from the ancient Romans, but it's just one of our US coins, only 10 or 20 years of wear has beaten it to this condition.

Money is for Nuthin' and the Chicks for Free

I will pay you to "follow" my blog. OK, not really, but here's some money in macro.

These are two macro photos of a nickel, looking HUGE! I like how the details in the rim of the coin above makes it appear to be carved from rock. And the shot below looks like mercury, teased into a form to mimic trees.
