Question

Model of a US quarter?

Does anyone have a model of a US quarter? I would like something a
little more detailed than just the thickness and diameter. I want it to
show the scale of some things when I make print outs.

While I had mentioned to Chris and sent an example of a quarter with an
image mapped to the surface (not to scale). Another option is to leverage
another type of object that people can easily relate scale to. See the
attached examples with a pencil. I have also use other items such as a
coffee cup.



Hope that helps,

You could model a ruler.. the government doesn't care if you show an
inch 🙂 With patterns, it would go pretty quick.



Just a thought.

From a different page on the Secret Service site:



"Coins

Photographs, printed illustrations, motion picture film or slides of United
States and foreign coins may be used for any purpose.

With few exceptions, existing law generally prohibits the manufacture, sale
or use of any token, disk or device in the likeness or similitude of any
coins of the United States, or of any foreign country, which are issued as
money." (emphasis added)



Note the distinction: paper money - lots of restrictions on printed
illustrations & photographs. Coins - none. Why? 'Cause you can't try to
pass of a photocopy of a coin as the real thing. So as long as you don't
use your 3d model of that quarter to print one out on a 3d printer, you're
fine.

How about a push pin or paper clip? They might be less likely to bring about any black helicopters flying about overhead:)

Why not use a foreign coin?

I think by using a US coin, he is trying to show size by something that
is familiar. Using a coin from Abkhazia or Atlixtac to Zamunda or
Zimbabwe would not assist the viewer of the drawing as they would have
no idea what size the foreign coin is portraying.

The Australian 50 cent piece is reputed to be one of the largest whereas
the Manak from Nepal is the smallest.

Still beating a dead horse with this thread!
