My hats off to the master engravers that create these miniature works of art we call money. I can't even draw a respectable looking stick figure.

People always get that wrong! It's not money that's the root of all evil, it's the LUST for money that gets everything going awry!
But, yeah, incredible work!

I've always admired the artwork on the coins. And the artists seldom get any credit.

I also made a series of photos of coin engravings way back in my 2.25" film days. You have mastered these beautiful works of art, impressively.
