Great post, thanks!
damn that looks awesome... i wish US currency was that cool looking, we have to settle for state-themed quarters and dollar coins with dead presidents on them...
Kicks Canadian currency's ass.
What's more amazing is that it was all made using free software - from the image editor right down to the OS. I'm amazed you didn't mention that...
I'm from the Netherlands and these coins look really awesome. The amount of detail in them is amazing.
Fantastic designs! Brilliant works of art.
Nice coin. I hope so that I will find them for my coin collection.
Oh, also, all the text on the coin is actually readable after minting - albeit with a magnifying glass.
