 A photo of various unique vintage American currency/coins totaling seven dollars including a two dollar bill, a 1 dollar silver certificate, a Suzan B Anthony dollar, an Eisenhower dollar, and Eisenhower Bicentennial dollar, and a liberty head silver dollar. Photographing these coins was much more difficult than I anticipated because the coins all reflected light differently, and yet I wanted the silver to appear bright on the three silver dollars and a gold hue on the Suzan B Anthony dollar. It took repeated attempts under various lighting conditions and then some individual exposure level adjustments, etc. on the coins using Photoshop CS. It was a fun project!

The arrangement and lighting is very flat and boring.

Clever display of your coin/bill collection. The image is sharp, though the coin reflections are distracting.

Not obvious for someone who doesn't know american money. Is the top lef piece a dollar? Is the seven to total of dollar?
