This is pretty much all I could think of when I heard this challenge... A few other ideas, but I loved the idea of an overhead view of a penny on concrete..
Post Challenge:
Thanks for all the comments, and a huge thanks to Prash for the first image related award of any kind I've ever received here..

I gave you a 6 for technical merit and for its standing out as, e.g., not another picture of a flower or bug. But to me it lacked much depth or contrast; the crack and splotch could be interesting elements but weren't really present enough to add much. Reading your comments now, this photo does somewhat come across as a "pretty much all I could think of" kind of image. Cheers, I still love ya.
