 yes, I know the money challenged just ended as well. The only thing I can think of is a penny....copper colored zinc

reflection is a little off, first time trying to use a concave mirror and multiple flashes

I've been somewhat uninspired as of late and just wanted to submit something to get back into the swing of things

The centered, face-on composition isn't particularly moving IMO, but you know your CuRRENCY!

nice detail, think i'd have liked to see a little more of the reverse side of the coin

Um... money shots in general don't get me too exhilerated... coins and bank notes: can't quite work out why they keep coming up in abundance in every challenge. I grasp that in this challenge they really do meet the challenge topic, but I've seen soooooo many in other challenges, that this doesn't make an image of currency interesting at all. Sorry.

Cu coated Zn. Good framing in the picture, but the highlights are a bit difficult to control

Background has a dirty color which to me is not attractive and I would have closed the aperture one or two stops to eliminate the blurred "in God we trust".

That is the prettiest penny I have ever seen in my entire life, and the only penny I will ever give an 8 to.
