Those are some runners-up for this week's Macro Monday theme "My Closest".
The pictures have been taken with the same setting as "Paula's eyes", namely a Minolta 28 mm lens mounted reversed on top of a macro ring stack (10 + 16 + 21 mm)...
They are close-ups of various Swiss money bills (50 CHF for that one).
Width is indicated by the blue ruler at the bottom: ~6.5 mm.
on sellotape dispenser which I happen to know is 1 inch across.
This is the one I prefer but I'm not sure it will be allowed as there is no graph paper or ruler.

Crimping beads and cable thimble from my wife's jewelry making supplies sitting on a stainless steel ruler with millimetre markings. The tubes at the end of the thimble are about 1 mm in diameter.
Fujifilm X-A1 with Minolta MC Rokkor-QF Macro 50mm f/3.5 at f/8 mounted in reversed orientation on a Minolta Autobellows III at full extension (165 mm) giving a magnification of about 3.5:1. The width of the image at the focal plane is just under 7 mm.
Lit with a Nikon SB-26 at 1/2 power at camera left (8 o'clock, 29cm away) and a Braun Hobby 17BC at camera right (4 o'clock, 40 cm away).
Focus stack of 9 images using ImageJ2 software (StackReg and Extended Depth of Field plugins).
Playing with some tiny shells from Barricane Beach in North Devon as part of Macro Mondays "My Closest" challenge for this week.
This one is 13mm long, and, if photographed straight would have been longer than the sensor is wide. Photographed on sandpaper in natural light with my 100mm macro lens using three extension tubes.
The extension of 68mm adds an extra x0.68 to the 1:1 magnification the lens already gives (increase in magnification=extension distance/lens focal length).
This gives a total magnification of 1.68:1, in practice the best I could obtain from my lenses. (Sensor 22.4mm wide).
My friend Liz and I visited Barricane Beach in 2017.
I’ve been doing some newspaper photography again, after 30+ years of vacation from it.
I’ve been doing work for two local weekly papers. Its fun.
This is a detail shot from a girl’s basketball photo, the hands of two players trying to take control of a loose ball – page B7 of the January 14, 2022 issue of The Mountain Eagle newspaper – showing the CMYK ink dots that make up the image. Its also a little out of registration, and shows a bit of a moiré.
My ruler (thats millimeters showing) looks awfully beat up with the low side light I used to get some light under the 85mm lens on a 36mm extention tube.

A screw, obviously. I put my bike lamp on the left side to create the red-ish flare, adding vibes to the photo.
