Yes it applies to coins as well. Anything from  pre 1951 India is in PD. Anything post 1951, GOI has the copyright.<br><br>But even for old coins, if you take a photo of a single coin you cant claim copyright and add a CC SA 3.0 license (its like taking a photo of a old painting and claiming copyright). it has to be added with a PD licence.<br>
<br>But i believe if you take a photo of an arrangement of coins (two and more), it becomes a  new creative work and you can claim copyright as the photographer (i am not sure on this, just recollecting what i read in old deletion discussions in en wiki and commons). Please confirm with editors like moonriddengirl in en wiki (who are much more familiar with tricky situations like this)<br>

Bala, <br>I had a question. <br>Does this apply to Coin as well?<br>I have a bunch of coins of 1862, 1900, 1907, 1919, 1941, and one of Post Independence.<br>I want to know if this is a problem.<br>Also, can I licence it under the standard <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Creative_Commons" title="w:en:Creative Commons" target="_blank">Creative Commons</a> <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported</a>, which I use for all my photographs? <br>
