TUTORIAL: a great realistic golden dollar sign

This tutorial is about creating an amazingly realistic dollar sign made of gold. When we need this kind of stuff, silver and gold are the more used materials.

Make this one by going to this golden text generator and using it like I tell you below:
- Text: $;
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 5;
- Background color: FFFFFF;
- Font name: Arial.

Making this way, you get this nice result image:

Extra tips:
- to increase even more the "golden mood" use a proper yellow background;
- if you intend to try other font faces, beware: many fonts don't implement the dollar sign (it can be empty or a square, or even something more awkward);
- this text effects catalog has many professional golden text effects. You don't need design skills to use them.
