I'm sure a rigger involved in the production would have said so.

Someone zooms in with cutting edge resolution-enhancing technology, and reveals the spoilerific dwarvish runes, or Dale-ish inscriptions, on those gold coins?

I was going to suggest it, but it's far too small to do it

but in my experience most under the line folks really don't even know or care the film they are working on.
It could just be a Los Angeles thing though.
Kiwi's seem to be a little more passionate in that regard.

He wouldn't lie to us after calling the interviewer "bro"! That'd be a breach of Kiwi honor!

The comment about the hand-made Elvish wine bottle suggests that the scene in which Galion and the guard captain (who may or may not be Tauriel) drink Elvish wine is in in some form.

. . . I think the picture is way too small to do too much with . . .

"Thorin sat up with a start. 'Something is not right,' he muttered to himself as he stood up and
looked towards the mirror . . . . . . . . . 'Durin's bones', he gasped, 'what's happened to my beard?'"

. . . you've got awesome software! 
all I get from my expansion and attempts to sharpen is a hint of some kind of animal . . . that and all the coins seem the same . . .
. . . I hope they aren't all the same, as Smaug stole from many folk, and the dwarves wouldn't have had just one type of coin . . .

No, but Dwarven coins would make up the large majority

I wonder what denomination they used. I reckon it was something odd. Hey, there's nothing else to speculate on in this thread

Gold Durins . . . there are silver Durins for smaller purchases, but no self-respecting dragon would lay on silver coins.
And dwarven coins would be pure . . . dwarves are not cutting their coins with nickel. No, no, no, no . . . pure coins for the dwarves.
That amount of gold in his hands would buy, what, a nice little farmstead in a secluded vale off to the side of the Lonely Mountain? A Dale townhouse?

Before, I was very skeptical of whether Jackson's three-film Hobbit would be any good, but after reading this, I'm sold. These are definitely going to be the best yet.
all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us...

Actually, the device of the coin that you superimposed upon is somewhat visible. It looks to me like a four-legged animal, upside-down... maybe a boar?
Man is but an ass if he go about to expound this dream.
