it looks like the white balance on this shot is a little off. did you shooot it under flourescent light? well anyways, it's a good picture. if you lit it from the side of the frame, it would make nice shadows and bring out the texture of the coins.
Can we re-think your title? If you use money, it goes away, if you don't use money, doesn't it stay in your pocket (or whatever?) Next, most of the coins appear worn (more argument against your wording of the title). Sorry to pick on the title so much..... It's a good shot of the coins, but the penny is out of time/place.

This is a very interesting composition of old coins... the only thing that bothers me is the penny :) I wonder why this is here? Is it a size reference or something? Good work :) - jmsetzler
Very well done. I like the lighting/coloring. I like that you can see the dimensions of the coins (no just flat). Very nice detail and great texture. Culture'ific!!! 9 Ruthann
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - not without the title Visual Impact / Originality - good
I like the idea and arrangement, although it would have been nice to see some of the dates on the coins. It also appears to need a little color adjustment.
I'll have to take your word on the date.The penny looks out of place here,maybe its too new.The other coins are really interesting because of the way they have aged.
