Week 5 theme: coins and notes. These are pressed pennies, mostly from Disney. I couldn't afford to get the kids something from the gift shop every time we went to Disney, but I made sure I had a roll of quarters and pennies to let them chose which design they wanted for a pressed penny.
This is the top all done!

87/365: Judas’ bag of coins, designed by me (folded from one square piece of paper, one side white and the other blue). The three coins represent the 30 silver coins Judas was given for betraying Jesus. Wednesday of Holy Week (today) is when Judas made the arrangements with the Sanhedrin to hand Jesus over to them. #origami #morigami #365origamichallenge #holyweek #judas

Originally used for a photography class to make a cover for a imaginary magazine, this photo shows an assortment of decades old coins spilling from a money bag.
For thirty years, I've intended to do macros of my coin collection; every time I visited a new country, I kept a couple of coins. Finally, I am doing the shots!
A 5 cent coin from British Honduras and stamped as 1950. I found it on a small island off the coast of Belize in 1990.
Thanks for looking.

When you have to take a hard decision flip a coin. Why? Because when that coin is in the air.. you suddenly know what you're hoping for.

Saturday Self Challenge
This week let's do something a little different:
"Coins”
Photograph any old and/or unusual coins that you have.
Process however you like.
I enjoyed this challenge because I have coins of most of the Emperors of Rome, and some earlier from the Roman Republic, but I’ve selected five of the more well known ones for this challenge. Working from left to right:-
1. Augustus (23rd September 63 BC – 19th August AD 14) was a Roman statesman and military leader who was the first emperor of the Roman Empire, he reigned from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. Augustus was born Gaius Octavius Thurinus and was the maternal great nephew of Julius Caesar.
2. Caligula (31st August 12 - 24th January 41 AD) was emperor from 37 AD to 41 AD. He was the son of the popular Roman general Germanicus. Although he was born Gaius Caesar, after Julius Caesar, he was given the nickname "Caligula"meaning "little soldier's boot" by his father's soldiers during their campaign in Germania.
3. Nero (15th December 37 - 9th June 68 AD) was emperor from 54 to 68 AD. He was born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus. He was the only son of Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus and Agrippina the Younger. His mother was implicated in the death of the previous emperor Claudius in order to get her young son into power, and rule the empire herself through him. She bumped off several political rivals before Nero had her murdered. Nero's rule is usually associated with tyranny and extravagance.
4. Hadrian (24th January 76 - 10th July 138 AD) was emperor from 117 to 138 AD. He was born Publius Aelius Hadrian’s in Italica near Santiponce in Spain, to a Hispano-Roman family. Hadrian was to spend more than half his reign outside Italy, becoming famous in the UK for building his wall. Work began in 122 AD it was thought initially “to separate Romans from barbarians”, but a desire to cease the Empire's extension may have been the real motive.
5. Commodus (31st August 161 – 31st December 192), was emperor from 177 - 192 AD. He was born Lucius Aurelius Commodus. Son of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. He had an elder twin brother, Titus Aurelius Fulvus Antoninus, who died in 165 AD. He initially ruled jointly with his father Marcus Aurelius, who died on 17th March 180, this left the 18 year old Commodus sole emperor. It appears in real life he turned out to be much worse than he was portrayed in the film Gladiator. On 31st December 192 AD he was strangled to death by his wrestling partner Narcissus, after an attempt to poison him failed.
The coins of Augustus, Caligula and Nero are bronze. The coins of Hadrian and Commodus are silver Denarii.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
MacroMondays 09/02/24 theme COLLECTION
Part of my coins collection. I love History and things that are kind of obsolete now.
One of the special edition UK 50p Beatrix Potter coins, on a picture of a duck, representing Jemima Puddleduck.
(I was so lucky - these coins were very popular but difficult to obtain. I got this one in my change from a car park ticket machine!)
This giant coin sorter has been abandoned in Death Valley National Park for almost 100 years. Little is known about it's operation or who built it. One can surmise, though, that these miners were rolling in money if they needed such a contraption.

The 1964 US tri-service (Navy-Air Force-Army) Light Armed Reconnaissance Aircraft, or LARA, competition came about as a response to a Marine Corps requirement for an aircraft specifically designed for counterinsurgency, or COIN, operations. Nine competitors responded to the request for proposal. The Lockheed CL-760 design, shown here as a full-scale mockup, featured a crew of two in tandem and could carry eight fully-armed infantry soldiers in the fuselage. The main landing gear would have retracted into fuselage blisters, which also held four 7.62 mm guns. A variety of weapons and pods could have been carried on underwing weapons racks. The Navy, as lead procurement agency, chose the North American Rockwell design, which entered production as the OV-10 Bronco. lockheedmartin/codeone
