    Setting a US$1 coin on its edge on a polished bathroom tile (which has to be placed perfectly balanced on the table) is not as easy at it may appear. And once it's achieved, that balance is precarious....The slightest movement of air, such as that of an air brush (Giotto Rocket) to gently blow away small dust particles off the black surface, will cause the coin to topple.

    I want you to do this with a fresh dollar bill.
    Moreover, have you actually smelled a dollar...paper or "sandwiched' copper ? I prefer lemons.
    I like your shot very much. Bravo!!!

    Right Steve. I will do that with a fresh and crisp Dollar bill.. easy as, mate, easy as" just fold it in the middle...nothing beats lateral thinking, ey? but actually what you're asking in jest might make a nice pic. Problem is I live in Australia. Maybe I;'ll substitute Queen Lizze for George Washington...
