Some people don't like aluminium coins, as it feels more like play money. Personally, I don't mind them and I think they can photograph quite well too.
So bring out your aluminium coins and show me some pics.
I'll post a few to get started.

Those are nice coins trigger. I'm so used to seeing aluminium coins as dull and lifeless, not like yours.
I don;t own any aluminium coins but I once found a WWI aluminium internment camps 3d in a bulk lot of world coins. Unfortunately it was at work so i didn't get to keep it.
Nice pics Trigger, they do make good photographic models.!! :good:
Thanks Guys.
My photo set up is very basic,
I'm waiting to see some pics from Markn. :)

Yes to the first, A Big Fat No to Aluminium.
My lights didn't like the stuff. :dodgy:
I'm sure there is a 2 Francs but couldn't find it.

Your wish is my command. I like these because they are the same sized coin but the 1923 coin is 170x the value. A great bit of history showing the effects of hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic.

Wonderful.!! :good:
FordPrefect, here's the 2 francs.
Sorry I only have a pic of one side,
so you will have to take my word
for it, that this is a 2f.
Not one of my best pics though.

Beautiful coins, Nancy.
Thanks for sharing.
Your Algeria coin reverses are upside down though.

:lazy2: Just a touch of laziness on my part as that's how they are oriented and I couldn't be bothered flipping them. :winkextra:
