When I join it dosen't download and, it dosent load up when I use

   -- This is inside of a HUDPaint and paints onto the screen but the image dosent
if not IsValid(coin) then
		coinimage = vgui.Create("DImage")
		coinimage:SetSize(25, 25)
		coinimage:SetPos(115, ScrH() - 83)
		coinimage:SetImage("content/materials/coin.vtf", "vgui/avatar_default") -- The last image location is if the image dosent load then it sets it to a [?] on the    screen! and dosent load the image?
   end

Dosen't load, nor does it download when the player joins?

Shouldn't it just be coin.vtf instead of content/materials/coin.vtf?
