An unusual story featuring coins:

From ABC News:

Bry Marie is an artist who paints works of art on pennies.

See how she turns such a tiny canvas into stunning works of arts. From Harry Potter to Lord of the Rings, you have to see these paintings to believe them.

From the old tradition of miniature portraits for lockets and other mementos.

Can't really call these things "works of art" - cute commercial tchotchke.

That is cool. As an amateur painter, I can say that takes some talent and skill far beyond my sophomoric abilities. I do not have the patience to work with oils, only acrylic.

Edit to say, yes, Not easy at all. My hand is not steady and does not have the same skill
