[2 Unique Geocoins Ready For Launch!]

OK, so minting isn't a requirement, they still are not coins. They are painted manhole covers.

 

I guess that we can agree to disagree on their not being geocoins, although I do agree with you that they are painted manhole covers

I'm with Eartha on this but then my Redneck geocoins I'm going to start leaving just to make fun of the whole geocoin thing aren't geocoins either. But I'll put a number on them anyway. Maybe I'll even dremel a dragon (with my lack of artistic talent) on them.

 

 

Will they be available in stainless steel?? If so put me down for 2

 

I hope the coins make it up here to Canada! How do you explain that at the border??!?!?!?

[What Was In Your Mailbox Today!]

No (yellow/gold) color on the coins at the front of the treasure chest?

 

Yes the coins in front of the treasure chest will have the "gold" coloring. They must have been overlooked on the proof.

 

Thanks!

[Bikedog Memorial Coin]

[Avalanche Coin]

Really nice coin!

 

I would love to trade for one drop me an email if anyone wants to trade!

[1st Geocache In Canada Geocoin Pre-order]

Rappelez-vous que ceux-ci ne sont pas fabriqués en Chine comme toutes les autres pièces avec la couleur sur elles. Si nous les avions fait dehors de l'Amérique du Nord, le prix serait probablement entre 7.00 ou 8.00 au lieu de 8.60 que nous chargeons.

 

 

Also remember these are not being made in China like all of the other coins with colour on them. If we had them made out side of North America then the price would possibly be 7.00US or 8.00US instead of the 8.60US we are charging.

 

These will be made in North America, Fredericton New Brunswick to be exact.

 

The icon is still being worked out but it will be something that reflects Canada and the 1st Cache.

 

Thanks to all those who have ordered!!

[1st Geocache In Canada Geocoin Pre-order]

Hmm, the order seems to display Canadian dollars even though it has a United States address

 

The address is Canadian.

Umm, that's the exact same treasure chest that's on the COOL (coin ordering liaison) coin...
