Interesting, and well done illustrations.

RE: "Coiners of the 1800's" So that's the original size of coins! They must have used "Big millimeters..."  I guess with inflation, they shrank in size as their buying power shrank.

It's a fictional creation intended to be artistic highlighting the theme. I added the coins on the table as a little "goof". The overall collage appearance gives this piece a quirky fun steam punk vibe which is what I was going for. Glad you liked it. Thanks!

Mike - I will add you to my resource list for possible book or article illustration, if that's OK.

PS: Do I detect a bit of M.C. Escher in the mint gears?
