What's the difference between 2D and 3D?
Although we typically think of 2D as being flat, 2D coins will still have raised surfaces. Text is often raised and the edge of a color or image will be made with raised metal. However, the raised metal will be flat, or all one level.In a 3D design, the metal can be contoured, or raised to multiple levels. This works well with images that have a lot of detail, such as faces. 3D images will not use color, but color can be used on the coin around the image.
