Clever solution. I occasionally think of ways to make something like that work
with my scanner, but haven't come up with anything useful. Besides, such a
method would still require that I paint my coins.

I'm fairly certain that you'll need a more effective light-attenuating medium
than coffee. Oil dyed with soot, maybe? Pressing a thin sheet of clear plastic
onto the coin might also be a good idea to avoid photographing reflected light
from the liquid's uneven surface.
