I'm not so impressed with the new Canada geocoin I got last week as well. Looked better on the web page than it does "in person". -sigh-
Dude, go search for the original Canada Geocoin threads and warn people that it is an overpriced piece of junk. Don't let others pay good money for it, if it looks as horrible as you say. Bad geocoins should not be rewarded.

It shows up for me, and I'm using the current version of Firefox. Maybe you accidentally AdBlocked the image?
So am I. Hmmm ... maybe it has to do with one of my extensions. Thanks! At least this gives me some where to look.
Not solved ... but obviously not a problem with the site ... so closing thread.
-
Maybe it is a Firefox thing? Bad HTML? I just noticed that as the page loads, it appears very briefly and then disappears.

oh noes!!!1!1 Al Qaida is blowing up our trees!!11!

Shipping is included in the cost of the coin (for US and Canadian orders)? That's the way the coin page seems to read.
The shipping prices are on the chart. We will update the web site to make it a little clearer. Thanks
Yikes! So shipping isn't included? Pretty expensive coin. I'll pass.

Is there a reason why I can't add the following listing to a bookmark list? The "Bookmark Listing" link doesn't show up in the upper right menu.

I've added the rest of the series to my bookmark list. Curious why I'm not able to with this one.
Thanks.

Was wondering when those coins will be shipped out?

Contact Landsharkz about shipment.
There is an event posted for Langley on May 13 ... a coin release for the BC, LMGA, and Kootenay geocoins. So, you can have it in your hands then.

Only "virtual" caches are allowed at the Park Superintendent's discretion.
One doesn't need permission to record a Waymark for a location in any park. Parks Ontario is grasping at straws if they think they have any legal foothold on denying or approving the listing of geodetic coordinates.

If you would like the correct answer to the original question, please write to the creator of the coin via email.
That's what forums are for though.

Did not mean to open a can of worms ...
You didn't open a can of anything. So no worries. It's a totally legitimate concern to question the price of a Canadian geocoin, especially when similar Canadian geocoins are sold for much less (Quebec - CA$8.00, BC - CA$9.00, the new Ontario coin - CA$7.50). It's also a legitimate concern to wonder why a Canadian geocoin is being sold in US funds to Canadians.
Maybe the geocoin producer will pop into the thread to answer the concerns of, apparently, quite a few people.

On the where the money goes, there is nothing on the website that indicates who is getting the money or for what purpose. On the face of it it just looks like a commerical venture.
It is a commercial venture (not that there's anything wrong with that per se). The question of the day is: Why are the unlimited editions of the Quebec geocoin and the limited edition of the BC Geocoin priced CA$2-3 dollars less than this coin?
Your credit card would be charged to Imaginet (the geocoin creator's web company). (That info is mentioned on the geocoins.ca website itself, so mentioning it here isn't any sort of secret, in the event a moderator thinks I'm divulging private info.)

2 for me please
Use the link above ... pre-ordering is done through the website for all their designs, including the very nice BC Geocoin.

And an activated trackable coin is NEVER a trade item. It's a travel bug with a mission.
Of course it's tradeable.
-
Do you have images of the CA icon to share?
-
Landsharkz were working on art designs for a 2006 Canada Geocoin a couple of months ago, but put it on the back burner when we heard this was coming out.
Don't let this coin stop you. There's no such thing as an Official Canadian Geocoin.
Considering you have more reasonable prices (CA$2.00 less per coin) and shipping (CA$1.00 less) on your coins and far better designs, in a few months you should do a Canadian geocoin. No doubt it would be very popular.
-
The real answer is that if you find someone that wants to make a trade for it, then it is a trade item. Trade items are determined by interest. A great looking non-trackable coin will usually have more interest for collectors than a piece-of-crap looking trackable coin.
-
It is no different than any other geocoin being sold for US $9.50. There's no reason to say money is going into someone's pocket like there is something special about this coin. So please play nice, thanks.
I didn't make a judgement on where the money was going. I just answered the question asked. You're seeing a "crime" where there isn't one.
And the US$9.50 price is a little different, I think. Usually, from what I've seen, that price mark represents a very limited edition coin (usually 200 or less minted). In this case, the coin is an unlimited run.
-
This is one of the better looking coins I've seen in awhile.
The BC Geocoin can be ordered at the following web address:
http://www.landsharkz.ca/coins/coins.php
The Landsharkz are really quite good at the design of geocoins. So while you're checking out the BC Geocoin (trackable at geocaching.com), check out some of their other designs as well. Heck, maybe think about hiring them to design your next "trackable at geocaching.com" geocoin.
-
Is there a limit on the number of 2006 coins that will be minted?
It's an unlimited mint and will continue to be pressed and sold as long as there are buyers.
-
Hey everyone,
Don't forget to come on buy and purchase a few BC Geocoins as well.
Fully trackable on GC.com, of course.They've got a couple of designs. All very cool looking. And reasonably priced.
-
Is there a limited mint? Where is the money going? The US price is steep is there a Canadian deal somewhere? The US geocoin 4.99US canadian coin 9.50US (but ours does look better!) even with the exchange rate (which there is not) that is a lot!
Not a limited mint. And the money goes into Mr. Gigabyte's pocket.
The price is outrageous. And he's even making Canadians pay in US dollars. Madness.
And the shipping rate is ridiculous. I sell via eBay regularly, and sending 1 to 3 coins does not cost $3.95 shipping (even including the materials).

My Question...
Why US Dollars For Canadian Geocoin ???
Unbridled profiteering, of course.
CA$11 for a single coin (and that's not even including the overpriced shipping) is ridiculous.
