I'm pretty sure it's your fault, somehow :)

Well, there's always Blender, and the POV exporter I wrote for it. All you have
to do is select your objects and export them; I didn't complicate the process in
any way. (A first, eh? :D) If you do go the Blender route, here's a tip: never
save your scene after recording physics to the IPO.

TY. I'm fairly certain they didn't use real gold for this coin. Mine is looking
rather oxidized, and as we know, gold is too noble for that sort of indecency ;)

If anyone's interested, I've attached the bump maps used for the image.
