Pictures for Pam, Day 169: SSC: Coins

(+10 insets!) (Please view large!)

Note: no pictures from Upper Klamath Lake today, it's Saturday Self-Challenge!

LOL, it's another late posting day! It's not my fault! It's the fault of the Saturday Self-Challenge theme! "Coins" was just too much fun and then there was dinner and well, you know how it goes! :D

I was originally going to post only pictures of foreign coins because I thought I'd read that in the description of the theme. I ran into trouble because I somehow managed to move our spare foreign coins and spent a while looking around for them without luck. Then I remembered that a few had gotten mixed into our change bowl and ran down to the kitchen to check. I poured them all out onto the counter (and spilled a bunch onto the floor, of course) and was delighted to find half a dozen from Europe and Canada! Hooray!

Before I started taking pictures, I reread the challenge text and found out that I could use any kind of coin--not just foreign as I'd thought--so I decided to add some pictures of U.S. currency too.

My main picture is a spill of foreign coins with my main subject precariously balanced on its edge. LOL, I spent more time trying to get those things to stand on edge, how ridiculous! :D I know I could have found some wax or other clever methods but the stubborn mule in me refused the easy route! :D At one point I got two of them to stand up! I got one picture before I bumped the table and down they went, wahhhh! :D

You'll find seven insets to look at (and three archive images). Some of them are very similar--just different coins--but I thought you might like to see what I came up with. I just love coin pictures so I'm really looking forward to perusing the SSC group and seeing what everyone did! (I've seen a few already, nice job guys!) :D

Pam, I looked up "coin" on your stream and found a picture of fossilized shells with a penny placed next to them for scale! :D LOL, that works! :) And the shells are really cool. Reminds me of the time I went to the Grand Canyon many years ago. To my utter disbelief there were shells absolutely EVERYWHERE! It was totally amazing. I cannot wait to go back with Steve so we can share this experience together! :) BTW I loved what you had to say about my sunrise picture and how different campsites are from one to the next and between the US and England! And finally, I sure do hope that you had a good day my dear! :) *BIG HUGS*
