    depends on your camera.

    I know the nikon 995 will focus down to about 1/2 inch or so. Some won't focus closer than 5ft... all depends on the camera.

    How about a scanner?

    You want to check your camera documentation to see whether or not it has a "macro" function and if so, how you turn it on. Chances are, to get good photos, you will want to enable the macro function, hold the camera about 1 1/2 inches from the coin - or however close your camera will allow, and the take a shot with the flash turned off. Of course, you will need to make sure to have some good lighting setup first.

    Hope this helps.
