Create a coin 3D model render
Disconnect file from color
Select arrow and hit delete button:

![Tutorial Create a coin 3D model render 2](/img/phpThumb.php?src=78/23.jpg&w=450)
Now if you render it with mental ray, it's will be something like this:
![Tutorial Create a coin 3D model render 3](/img/phpThumb.php?src=78/24.jpg&w=450)
So what we need to do is create approximation for displacement
Open Approximation editor:

Click create button:
![Tutorial Create a coin 3D model render 5](/img/phpThumb.php?src=78/26.jpg&w=450)
Select coin and click assign button:
![Tutorial Create a coin 3D model render 6](/img/phpThumb.php?src=78/27.jpg&w=450)
Now click edit button and adjust it:

Also open file node with our texture and decrease alpha gain:

Try to render, you can see there it's very low details:

So we need to add details to geometry, I made it's simply by extruding faces, and scale them down
Also you will need to create new UV (just repeat steps as shown above):
![Tutorial Create a coin 3D model render 10](/img/phpThumb.php?src=78/31.jpg&w=450)
Now try to render
I also set alpha gain a little lower value, 0.03

So finally tweak blinn as metal and make final render:

You can choose any type of coin to create with this technique.
