You can make out the crater rim, and you can also work out that what appear to be single objects are often two, separated by thin black lines.

From the microscopic imager. The circular area has been cut by the Rock Abrasion Tool, it is two inches in diameter. That makes the second "coin" about 1/8" in diameter and the first one about 1/20" (if they were circles).

It claims that the objects seen have been worked out at exactly 800 feet apart (by whom?).

i don't know if this is wrong to post this.
it will shed more light on the coin question.
i am not taking credit, just presenting a very well done presentation.

Like if they were two paralel tracks?

so the interest in space exploration is there, but NASA thinks they're protecting us from something.

It appears to be a secret that will not be told.

Found a interesting video about mars
August 2, 2005 Life on Mars? Who knows? Ice on Mars? Most definitely—and now we've got more cold, hard evidence.
On Thursday the European Space Agency released a rare photo of a Martian ice lake in the far northern reaches of the planet. Capping a swirl of dunes at the bottom of a 23-mile-wide (35-kilometer-wide) crater, the frozen lake is thought to exist year-round. The modest temperature and pressure changes in this latitude would not be enough to allow the ice to melt or evaporate.
Water, a key ingredient for life, is believed to have once flowed on Mars, etching the gorges that crisscross the red planet. Today water ice is abundant underground, cakes the poles, and may even form frozen, buried seas (see photo). But it is unusual to find lonely patches of ice away from the poles.
The new image, taken by the agency's Mars Express probe, shows largely true colors. But the depth of the crater's ice-fringed, 1.2-mile-deep (2-kilometer-deep) ridges is exaggerated by a factor of three.
