How to create curved text box
Hi all – I'm trying to design some coins and need to place text such that it wraps along the curved rim of the coin. I can't figure out how to get a text box to curve or wrap. Any ideas?
Here's a photo of a silver coin that has text like I've described: https://imgur.com/gallery/CuugtEA
Thanks,
JD

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen, JD! Could you please show us the other side of the coin too? I live in the United States, Florida. Will I be able to buy your coin at my local International Diamond Center where I get my other bullion coins?
When you finish making your SVG rendering of this coin, if it's not proprietary, could you please post it so we can deconstruct it and understand how you did it?
This is *VERY* cool!
Thanks,

Thanks Maren, I missed that section.
Yo Steve, the coin in the photo isn't my design — it's the official silver bullion coin of Australia, the Silver Kangaroo by the Perth Mint. I just needed an example of what I was talking about. I agree that it's gorgeous – I have a whole tube of them. Australian currency and bullion design is first rate. You should see their polymer banknotes.
Cheers,
Joe
