Nice work, granted they are not canon to the world, but heck, who cares, the point here is that this is a good peice of work. thank you,

Seariously though, check-out the Roman Brothel Coins. I think you might get a better laugh at "Coitus" displayed on coinage than the Skwa and her brat.
Mikhada  [author] 3 Aug, 2014 @ 5:55pm 
Why? Because it's humourous, and it makes me laugh quietly to myself (or at least crack a smile) when I see it in-game. At least 416 people would seem to currently feel the same, and that's 416 more than enough to constitute this coin's existance in my book. :)

If you wanted a unique coin for SKYRIM, you need to look for "Roman Brothel Coins".
Yes brothel, whore house, poon palace, stabin cabin or, the boom-boom room.
Roman Brothel tokens were coins that could be spent at a brothel for sexual entertainment. It's like when you go to a bar and you get a "Rain-Check" free drink. There are 10 different mint stamps. The stamps portrayed a man and woman in various sexual positions,
Vginal, male oral, female oral, anal, missionary, doggy, 69, masterbation, flat back, and saddle
The back side has a Roman numeral on it, I-X. If you don't believe me, look it up for yourself.

Last time I checked, I didn't see any Mandan-Hidatsa in Tamriel. Or any Injuns for that matter.
Tiber Septim 3 Aug, 2014 @ 11:35am 
The Gold Septim Coin has it's own unique stamp.(mint-mark)
"The Empire is Law"
"The Law is Sacred"

WHY?
PaperBearBot 24 Jun, 2014 @ 12:20pm 
Can you change the name of it in game to Sacagawea?
Mikhada  [author] 24 Mar, 2014 @ 12:08pm 
Because awesome.

I don't know the name of the coin, but if you search for "5 Mark coin" you will find pictures. They were made from 1950-1974 and the reverse side of the coin is very beautiful.

I JUST DID MY FIRST MOD EVER. Bleak Falls Chestssss
by falcoe3117. I gave you a mention in it please take a look and let me know what you think. TY
Mikhada  [author] 22 Oct, 2013 @ 1:19am 
@falcoe3117
You're welcome. It amuses me too :). While I do actually like the coin, the idea of spending them in Skyrim is hilarious to me. Hence, this mod was born.

@DARIVS
I think I found the coin you were talking about but the image was very small. Far from something I could make a mod from. It seems more of an error on my part of not knowing exactly what to search for as I'm not too familliar with older foreign currency. Can you tell me what the exact (or as close to exact as possible) name of the coin is?
falcoe3117 21 Oct, 2013 @ 11:40pm 
Dude i love this mod! i get a kick out of it every time i see the coin on screen thank you
DARIVS 18 Oct, 2013 @ 10:15pm 
Have you ever seen the 1950's German 5 Mark piece in nickel? That's a truly handsome coin with the resplendent eagle on it. It's so popular that you can buy ones on ebay that have been cut out and made into pendants. I have one and it's beautiful.

Anyone ever make an Irish Euro?
Mikhada  [author] 6 Oct, 2013 @ 8:56pm 
Though my curiosity is piqued. What do you refer to, anyway?
Mikhada  [author] 6 Oct, 2013 @ 8:54pm 
@Jingles
I have no idea what/who alchestbreach is. I made this from the ground up using images that, if I recall correctly, came from Wikipedia. I downloaded the images some time before I actually made the mod. Also, the Sacagawea dollars are already gold... In fact, I made it less gold for the mod, because it looked straight yellow in-game originally.
Astorais 6 Oct, 2013 @ 7:10pm 
i like the mod but did you get this from alchestbreach and turn it gold

rolandhagge 4 Oct, 2013 @ 9:14pm 
Very NICE Thanks Bro!!
Oleg Mongol 2 Oct, 2013 @ 7:33pm 
I think your attention to detail is good. I congratulate you. Very nice coins...
Mikhada  [author] 2 Oct, 2013 @ 7:26pm 
@Bloodlust
NP; whatever makes your Skyrim experience a good one. :) I've seen English and Welsh pound coins as well as the Irish I mentioned above. I chose the Irish pound just because the Celtic look seemed more Skyrimish. Then I change to Sacagawea coins. Go figure. I don't always make sense.
Vagabond 2 Oct, 2013 @ 10:16am 
I'm british so thanks for telling me that there are pound mods.im going to find them straight away!
Oleg Mongol 30 Sep, 2013 @ 6:24pm 
Very Nice. Doesn't fit Skyrim though. I'm working on an old Irish silver coin w/ a Phonix or Celtic Snake or Elk or something.

Thanks for saluting the true americans who live here.
Midnight Sinito 28 Sep, 2013 @ 7:08pm 
@Mekada Roenick cool
evilcloudyness 28 Sep, 2013 @ 4:02pm 
This makes the game much better.I know most people care less about how the coins look, but I am a big fan of detail. This mod adds a very unique and refreshing feel to the game. Thanks big time!

@SupDieBro
To keep that answer short but thorough:
I used the FO3 Archive Utility to unpack the stock textures from the game, then I installed a DDS plugin into GIMP to read them. I opened the stock coin texture, and scaled it up to a higher resolution, which is currently 1024*512. Then using high-resolution scan of the coin, I cropped, scaled, and stretched the image to fit the texture, then used the smudge tool to clean up the edges. Then, using an open-source program called SSBump Generator, I created a metric crapton of bump maps. In the Creation Kit, I pointed the gold coin to my new texture and bump map, which CK refers to as "specularity map" which I suppose is not inaccurate, saved and started the game. Change out the bump map and repeated, over and over until I found the best looking one. Then I took that one into GIMP, and used alpha masks and some smudging to further improve the bump map, then packed it into an archive to be published here.

how did u make this
Mikhada  [author] 26 Sep, 2013 @ 12:06pm 
@heroesatwar
Well, it's doesn't have to make sense... I made this mod for two reasons: A) I wanted a hi-res coin, and B) when I thought of Sacagawea dollars in Skyrim, I knew I could do it and the idea to me was hilarious.

@themisterchef457
Yes, Sacagawea is a native woman that famously helped guide the explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to the Pacific coast. And thanks for the compliments, especially from the UK. I often feel our money is so plain, but I suppose everyone feels that way when they're see it every day.
MADS555S 26 Sep, 2013 @ 10:40am 
Looks very nice anyway
MADS555S 26 Sep, 2013 @ 10:40am 
As a Brit, who's Sacagawea? A famous native American or something?
LT__THUNDER 26 Sep, 2013 @ 6:52am 
hell no dont do that love this mod nice work bro
Carystus 26 Sep, 2013 @ 3:32am 
Lol USA taking over Skyrim now? :P Dude I love Sacagawea but she wasn't "American" either! There is an Emperor, no, wait, I murdered him Dark Brotherhood style.. :P Put Paarthurnax on this and add some lore words ;-)

...Americans... :P
Seerk 25 Sep, 2013 @ 1:01pm 
More like "In the gods we trust", to make it more realistic.
Wholesale Farts 25 Sep, 2013 @ 11:42am 
It should say in talos we trust, imo. Add some realism to it.
Nogamertag0666 25 Sep, 2013 @ 10:44am

@Yuri
I'm currently running a slightly modified SMIM (Static Mesh Improvement Mod), only modified in the sense that I desaturated the chest a bit (default SMIM looks red). I am also running all three of the Bethesda-made hi-res texture packs (One download, three files), as well as a sprinkling of various textures from the 2K texture pack and from SRO (Skyrim Realistic Overhaul). I used to run more of the 2K pack, but I thinned it out a bit only keeping the best ones because A) There's something charming about some of the default textures, and B) after installing SMIM, with all the other textures still in place, I'd occasionally dip below 60 FPS in crowded areas, and I couldn't stand that "break" in the smoothness.

So to answer the question, it is a hand-picked mixture of mods that I've sorted out over time, pretty much a work in progress since a few months after release day. My computer runs a GTX 670 2GB v-card, AMD Phenom X6 @ ~3600 MHz, and 16 GB RAM @ 1864 MHz.

How is everything so hi-rez? Is it a mod or do you have an awesome PC?

this is really cool and ironic since irl the public hates change but here I want to pick them up
Grey Wolf Jack 24 Sep, 2013 @ 12:01am 
You should make those SEAL Team Six memorial coins they advertise on TV constantly.
Mikhada  [author] 23 Sep, 2013 @ 7:30pm 
@nathanmills
Older gold coins seem to be very difficult to find suitable images for making a texture with, but I did find some good images for the Morgan dollar that only need minor editing in GIMP to work. The hard part will be making a convincing-looking reeded edge. One problem with silver dollars however will be that, without very extensive editing, the game will still refer to the amount of 'gold' you have, not silver, as I stated below in my reply to DARIVS.
Nogamertag0666 23 Sep, 2013 @ 6:32pm 
i really like this coin mod makes it really shinney when laying on the ground or something, i havent seen any but can you make a morgen or peace dollars of the texter for the coin or a us gold coin from the 1800s.

@hk471992
I took that picture by toggling collisions (tcl in console), running very far straight up, turning off tcl and on tgm (god mode), doing "player.drop f 1" 500 times (with help from a batch file), then racing the coins to the ground.
