But it's not the end of the world, it's the end of this long cycle. the mayan calendar was all about a long cycle rebirth where the world would 'change', not end.

That's right - the idea that this is the "end" of the Mayan calendar and that means they predicted the end of the world is a modern urban myth. It is the end of a calendar cycle, and the next one starts the next day. Even Wikipedia (the cacher's ultimate reference tool ) has a good summary.

 

Rather than getting hung up on event names related to the "end of the world" etc., what about considering names involving related themes such as: Mayan Calendar, Mayan Civilization, Mayan Counting. The coin obviously used Mayan themes, so the name should match.

 

From my perspective, it would be better not to polarize groups with the event and coin name by using a populist but misguided theme.

Count me in for Wellington, New Zealand. After big turnouts (for Wellington) at my 11-11-11 and 29-2 events, this should be a good one!
