Considering the project timeline and budget we went with Element3D instead of a full fledged 3D software.
For the coin falling scene, Created a 3D coin, and used the particle system in Element3D to achieve the rain fall. I've used around 2-3 Lights in the scene to achieve this lighting. Enabled the 'Depth of Field' in the Ae Camera and also enabling the motion blur gave the close to realistic feel.
