IMHO I would use a slightly different font if you have one.

On my sample penny here the D is also in a serif font, and the 9 
is not closed and has a descender.

Below in the attached images you will see a cooper penny (front only)
that I raytraced about a year ago and the grey scale I used to bump
map the face. I never worked on the reverse side of the penny and the
grayscale I am providing certainly lacks in resolution. It will however
give you something to think about...

I find it interesting that every image processing program I've ever seen
has a filter to differentiate the image along a direction (usually called
"emboss") but none seem to be able to do the inverse operation; that is, 
integrate the image along a direction.  If you could, you could then take
a carefully-controlled photograph of a penny (might need to paint it flat 
white first, to remove the specular highlights) and use the integrate 
feature to recover the contours.

    You can also use and image map. This is code is from early in my POV
experience. There must certainly be better ways to do this.

#declare coin =  union
{
intersection
  {
   height_field {
    gif "coin2b.gif"
    smooth
    texture {cyltex2} // pigment {color <1,0.7,0>}
    translate <-.5, -.5, -.50>
    scale <1, 0.0275, 1>
         } // end height_field
   cylinder { <0,-.0137,0> <0,0.2,0> 1 translate <0,0.0,0> }
  }
 cylinder { <0,-.0137,0> <0,-0.1,0> 0.42 translate <0,0,0.01>
   texture  {cyltex2}}//color <1,0.7,0>} }
rotate <0,45,0>
translate <xloc, 1.604, zloc>
}
coin
