To take good, closeup photos of coins and other small objects, you'll need a camera with the ability to take "macro" pics. For a digital camera with that capability for under $100, you will probably need to check in pawn shops. The cost of a new camera is going to be more than that limit. You can get a new camera with macro for less than $150.

In addition, for sharp macro pics, you also should use a tripod. Tripods can be found at Wal Mart for $10 to $15.

Or . . . you could go to someplace like NewEgg.com and look at their digital cameras. Do you know what a "recertified" camera is?

Occasionally they will get a camera returned that has problems, however, the great majority of returned electronics are kind of like the dress your neighbor buys to wear at a Saturday wedding, then returns as "not what I really wanted" on Monday. There is nothing wrong with it, but the buyer decided for whatever reason to return it and say there was a problem so he/she can get their money back.

I've seen 10 MP cameras for about $100 occasionally. You get the same warranty as new, and the unit is usually new. All parts will be included unless the listing says otherwise.
