Legality of Showing U.S. Coins on a Web site

[djmatt]

Is it legal to show U.S. coins on a non-profit web site? Do I need to give any credit to the government, etc?

My son (in Kindergarten) and I are going to make a web site together. He is learning to count coins, so I want to show 3 nickels and a dime and have him add them together, for example. I can't find any mention of the legality of showing those images. It would be a "public" web site, but I don't imagine popular.

Matt, I did a quick search on google and couldn't find anything negative about this, and I really didn't expect to. I also saw many web sites dealing with coins with images. I think that the only consideration that you need to take is using an image that is copyrighted, as in any other image you would use.
