Well that is my fault. I need to give the artwork to mauison to make the icon. I've been so wrapped up in other things that I haven't done it yet. So I guess I should mail him some artwork huh? No nutella for a week for me as punishment I'll post when the icon is ready Sorry, tsun No pressure but it is good to know what is happening so I don't hit F5 every five minutes to see the cute icon.

I don't want to be a pain BUT when will the icons be up? Thank you.

Oh wow, that is a blast from the past. I wanted to do that cache, as a fan of Tolkein, and forgot all about it. Sad to see it has been archived.

That and the ice cream section of the grocery store are nightmares for me.

Yes, it is a bit annoying when people bring back a design over and over in different colors and metals just to make money.

I don't understand your thought process of I am taking my coin and going home and I am never designing a large group coin again. I have seen this type of behavior before and it was not well received in the forums. It appears that many people like your designs and have had no issue with prior symbols in your coins. Why don't you accept the criticism and re-design the back or come up with a different theme instead of running away? Pulling the artwork and being defensive because you didn't receive the praise you wanted seems silly to me. If you don't want people to give you feedback don't ask for it. You should also be grateful that people gave you feedback now instead of when Mike was trying to sell the coin to event organizers.

I am looking at possibly purchasing a Garmin Colorado but does Wherigo run on the 300, 400i, 400c and 400t? I don't want to purchase the wrong kind and it appears the 300 are cheapest.

To me, I don't see the hands as religious, but I don't see how they have anything to do with caching or a ten themed event.

You asked people what they don't like about the coin and when they did now you think everyone is prejudiced or racist. Just because I don't like something doesn't make me racist or prejudiced. I don't like the Philadelphia flyers either. I think the coin needs to be something that every cacher will like no matter their religious and personal beliefs. So putting something on a coin that reflects religious or personal beliefs will not be accepted by the masses. People are holding events and don't want to be stuck with left over coins. They are your sellers who know their customers. If you look at the coin people would have to explain to their customers what each section means. A seller shouldn't have to explain what Yoruba is or how it relates to caching. An event coin should be something that when you see it you say I want that instead of what does that mean. I am saddened that Mike felt the need to remove the coin instead of working on it. Mike has some beautiful designs and I have no doubt that this would have been another but it seems personal viewpoints affected the production of this coin.

I don't like the proverb, I don't like the hands, I don't like the stars and I don't think it has anything to do with caching. As soon as I looked at it all I could think of was that it was a religious themed coin (which I would buy if it was related to my religious beliefs) and not a geocoin.

I like the front but the back would keep me from buying it.

In May of 2007 I volunteered at the Wolong Panda Preserve in Chengdu, China for two weeks before it was destroyed by the earthquake. We flew into Beijing and did some sightseeing for a couple days. I used my gps to do a couple caches and never had a problem with the gps out in the open or looking for caches. The problems were that most caches were virtuals and some of the regular caches were not well maintained.

I ordered a coin but will not be able to be present to pick it up. Is it possible to pay for shipping or have someone pick it up for me?

My Paxs came in Wednesday but I couldn't pick them up until today. WOWWWEEEEE. I love all four of them. I thought my favorite was going to be the purple or green one but it may turn out to be the copper one. When I first saw it I thought it was kind of plain but the feel and look of it is amazing. Great design Tsun. They will be boarding a plane with me on Monday for a little cross country trip. Can't wait for the bears.

Just finished reading the magazine from cover to cover. The only bad thing is now I have to wait another month for the next issue.

I am looking for a GPS Adventures Maze - Baltimore geocoin. I am told that a geocoin was made but that it was sold out.

I signed up just over a week ago and was shocked to see the magazine in my mailbox this morning. I haven't had the chance to read it yet but looking at the pages it looks great. Very informative and great articles. I really enjoyed seeing a local cacher make it into the magazine. Very happy to be a subscribing member and thanks for the pathtag and sticker.

I don't chase FTFs anymore but I did sign up for the magazine to see what all the fuss is about.

Second computer vote, a cat. Our family goes to the website every day to click to send free food.

I voted, I had a tiger.

I ordered my coin and now I can't wait to pick it up. I see you have a new attribute since a lackey is attending your event. Great job.

Very cute, hope I will be around to take part in the fast paced sale.

I will be there in a month for work so I will definitely look you up and order some coins for my trip.

Really cute. I will order a couple and can't wait to see you guys at the Geobash again this year.

I see that my thread was resurrected after being dormant for awhile. And actually, after I posted this thread, I started thinking the same thing- why not make a coin? Through responses to this thread, I found out that there were some breast cancer coins that had been made in the past that are no longer being minted and thought maybe it was time for a new one. So I'm actually working with a vendor on a breast cancer coin, based on a design I had in mind. And I think it's a win-win situation because the vendor is going to donate a portion of each coin sold to charity, so the coin will support breast cancer, plus there'll get to be a new breast cancer coin out there to raise awareness and to commemorate something that obviously is personally meaningful to many of us. It's still early in the project so I hadn't posted anything on the forums yets, but since this question came up, it seemed appropriate to let people know that something is in the works... That is wonderful news. I hope you will keep us informed as to the sale date.
