How long do you think this phrase will remain on our money? To imagine that there were days when prayer used to be led by teachers in public schools, and now there is debate over whether the word "God" should even be used on our money is simply saddening. But that's enough of my reflections on the moral compass of America. This picture has no major editing other than levels, removing a few distractions, cropping, and resizing. This is what happens when you point a Nikon D80 at a microscope, the picture was in no way faked. I got the microscope in 7th grade after being enthralled with all the cool stuff we saw in Life Science class. The quarter is from 2000, and the lighting is from a desk lamp just out of the right side of the frame. Check out the full view for the detail on the quarter.

This is a really cool and unique idea, Steve. I'm in awe. Never thought I'd see a quarter up this close. And I think it's cool that you have a microscope. I've never known a kid to have one; just school. haha
So basically Laura's calling you a school lol :) I love it! I like where you picked to close-in on, and it just looks so crystal clear. Awesome.
Schweeeeettt! I'm gonna try that with my microscope. That's cool. :) And to quote my favorite rap artist: "The dollar bills say in God we trust; It's funny 'cause money is the only god he trusts" Preach it Brotha!!!
That detail is incredible and this perspective certainly would never give away that what we are looking at is wording on a quarter. The material almost looks like something malleable or better yet edible! ha. Nevertheless, good job.
This is so cool! I've never seen a coin this close up before! And yes, you are a nerd for owning a microscope. :P
