It’s amazing how many small coins can be fitted in a 3” square! Some of these coins, like the Australian and New Zealand old 3 penny coins are really tiny , about the size of my little finger’s nail!
I made this one-image photo using a two-axis, computer-controlled device. The coin was held in place using a banana clip and positioned on a rotary stage, while a linear axis moved the coin 35mm to the right. Both linear and rotary movements were made simultaneously, taking a total of 6 seconds. (X35 A55 F150)

L'épicerie du coin, Moustiers Sainte-Marie, France.
Depuis 1981, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie est classé parmi les Plus Beaux Villages de France. Église, remparts, chapelles, aqueduc, fontaines, alliances d’eau et de pierre, tons pastels de tuiles et de tuf façonnent un ensemble architectural homogène et vivant.
La douceur de vivre qui s’en dégage incite naturellement à respecter et à valoriser ce lieu, à le découvrir et le protéger. Le travail de la terre, perpétré depuis des siècles, est le trait d’union entre l’Histoire et l’avenir du village.
Moustiers-Sainte-Marie fait partie du Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon, à cheval sur les deux départements du Var et des Alpes de Haute Provence, qui s’étend sur 46 communes et regroupe sept grands ensembles paysagers.
I chose this quarter for the bright red poppies on it and it proved to be a good choice. Other coins I used didn't look as dramatic. I cloned out some of the dust on the table. I was surprised at how much dust appeared in the image because I was dusting it off after each shot. :-/
The reflection in the table top was pure serendipity.

Coins are used infrequently nowadays as most of us rely on notes or card payments but in the past, they were very important, particularly gold and silver coins.
This is a history of the 20th Century Kings and Queens of England in silver coins. The first two are silver rupees from India, followed by two Australian silver threepences and finishing with Canadian silver dollar!

Two or three weeks ago I put a photo into the Macro Mondays group that I called 'Staying Alive' where I used this 50 pence coin in a different composition. Well after I'd finished shooting that image I was about to clear up the patio table where I'd taken that shot when I noticed this bee on the ground. And you'll know what I mean when I say that you sometimes see bees on the ground that are very sluggish and almost unresponsive. This was one such bee. The gears started to whirl in my brain and I thought - Why not! So I gathered it up on a piece of cardboard and gently nudged it onto my coin and took a couple of quick shots. I then put him gently back onto the ground and let him bee...
So before anyone reports me, no bees were harmed in the making of this image!
