I use GIMP but it's probably not the easiest one to begin with.

I believe one of the easiest softwares to start with is paint.net. You can get it and download it at getpaint.net.

When you go in, you can select the circle tool (3rd row, 1st colum) and press shift. Start from the edge of the coin and select to the opposite. There you have a perfect circle crop, easy and neat.

Unfortunately, it is only for Windows users.

I just open the image on my Mac and crop it with the tools there (elliptical shape), then use Paint to fill in the sides with white so that it doesn't become a .png file.

Probably doing it more complicated than should be, but it works, so oh well.

Photofiltre is great and free (the version 7). Easier to use than gimp in my opinion. To just crop coins and other basic things it's ok.

​I use paint too, but pressing shift was new for me. So it´s much easier. Thanks
