thats not very macro, since thats probably the 50mm f1.8 (or f1.4) I do have some advice though

Take your Lens off and hold up the front to the camera body, So you are looking through it backwards, Set the focus to infinity. Now you have a 1:2 (i think) Macro lens.

Use your flash (not the built in flash, but the external) To light up the scene (Will have to set to manual probably 1/8th or 1/4 power)

here is an example

Like this? (What you see there is a side of a 2 euro coin. Less than 2mm wide.)

Wow that works really well.
I tried it with the kit lens that came with my Rebel XT, pic is the face side of a 2005 nickel.

For something a little less precarious, look for reversing rings and coupling adaptors.

No just use Full manual mode to set the shutter speed, you don't need a lens on the body.

Another pic this time with a reversal ring (Just for ease of use really), holding on the 18-55mm kit lens (For the d50)
