This is definitely neat, you pick the coin you want to look at, and can zoom in quite close to the infinitesimal details of the coin's surface. The actual images are 400 million pixels apiece.

Nice find! It would have been cool to see the dollar coins instead of just pennies or cents.

It is cool, but I'd rather see him focus on another currency

it's not a coin, but, if i had an extra $24,000, i would like a Penoles bar -

i think they have the most beautiful 1000 ounce bar. it could just be the photograph though.

personally i would like one on the dining room table, though it would probably get moved. 70 pounds of Silver.
