Nice idea, but I would have chosen a lower angle. For me, photographing exactly form the top is too direct for such an indirect composition of coins. I would have used a different background as well. Dark green or maroon velvet maybe, silver, gold and bronze hard metal always reminds me to the need of something soft and opposite colour. This might have added another nice element of opposites to the opposite of old and new. Just an idea.

I love the idea and feel this would have had greater impact if the date on the new coins were all the same, and all of a date 2000 Plus this would then show a greater differential between old and New.
