GA Cacher

Thanks, I'll check.

Update! About 75 % of the domestic coins have been mailed, and 50% of the International. I hope to finish tonight. I am still waiting on payments from a few people to complete all orders. If any do not pay and their coin was not engraved I'll contact the wait list people. If they don't pay and they are engraved, well I'll ponder that.

7:05 PM EST just got home from the frieght center with the coins. Now to sort them and get them ready to mail. Just kdding I'lll send you an e-mail as soon as I have a count of the waiting list. Just to belay any more Alabama comments here is the picture.

In making this coin I have recieved many warm comments and a few tearful ones. I recieved this from a person who orderd their coinsand when I sent out the sample pictures they replied. " Yes I do like it, regretfully, one of the two women who's names are going on my coins passed this past weekend. A few weeks ago, they found growths in her brain, and she passed quietly in the night this past weekend. Her coin will have special meaning now..." I will not identify them but I wanted to share the comment. We will be sending the order in soon. If you haven't ordered or need to chage your orded plz contact me. Also if you need to add or update your engraving plz contact me.

NO all id fine! I will send the invoices soon. Thanks for your support. TOm

Those Coin Guys, GA Cacher and Madhattersneverland offer to you the Breast Cancer Awareness Trackable Geocoin. Here is the link to the website.. with a full drawing price and ordering info. Breast Cancer Ribbon Ordering and INFO! Front. Back This coin will be in Shiny Polished Nickel ( this is the what most coins call Silver) It will be 1.75 inches The center of the ribbon is cut out and the coin is cut in the shape of the ribbon. The cut out lends itself to attached on your bag with a carabineer or for a key chain or to attach a Travel Bug info tag. the finish will be Hard Enamel It will be trackable with the icon of the pink ribbon We hope to make at least 500 coins but if the demand goes higher we will make up to 1000 coins. Each coin can be personalized !!!! Here YOU can have 22 character and spaces to personalize every coin. Each coin you order can have a totally different personalization! Some will have there caching name, team name or club name. Many will have the name of a loved one who was a victim or a survivor engraved here. I lost my favorite cousin to breast cancer last July. You can bet I will have some coins with her name to pass out to family. Another cacher friend of mine, Team PEZs mother is a survivor and he will be placing her name on a few. Some will purchase the coin as is with no personalization. The cost of the engraving will be in the price of the coin. The major thing is that this coin is NOT for profit. This coin will be priced to keep it as low as possible. With that in mind ANY and ALL monies that are left after paying for the coin, tracking number, shipping and packaging, We mean ALL extra monies will be DONATED to the Susan Komen Foundation. No profit on this coin. Our designer has donated his talent. Our coin producer, Coins and Pins, has generously priced this at 10 % below normal price. Only the cost of the coin, packing materials, postage, fees and the tracking number cost will be paid out with all remaining money donated.to the Susan G Komen Cancer Foundation

Ga Cacher is attending the wake/viewing of a co-workers daughter who suddenly passed away at the tender age of 22. I am sure he will answer any and all questions when he gets home. -TP "Those Coin Guys" Caught up on e-mails today. Thanks TP.

No everything is fine. I have your order. I will post the pictures of the sample I hope tomorrow.

I hesitate to answer this but how were you involved in getting this coin approved? You have nothing to do with this coin, it's conception nor the minting or the approval from Kohem or Groundspeak. YOu have nothing to do with this coin and for you to say that you do just shows your arrogance.

Well I feel it is time to answer the post from the 2 people who have attacked me on this coin. I quote ” I will try again, but seriously doubt there will be an answer. Usually that would indicate a problem. If they had permission before they started this coin, why wouldn't they want to say so? No one has the right to decide how to use their name, or any other groups name. They own it. They paid for it. No one has the right to decide they wouldn't mind since they will be getting money from it. They have the right to decide whether they wish to partner with someone. Expressing that doesn't make me a ney sayer for this coin, but rather an advocate for the foundation. They are the ones who are losing. They are the ones who have had their name taken and used without their permission. They are being violated, and if you don't think so, imagine someone here minting a coin with your name on it without your permission. I am sure you wouldn't mind that at all would ya? While you personally know GA Cacher and trust him not to abuse this coin or to cheat the charity, why create a precedence? If we don't require each and everyone to get permission to use these copyrighted names, then we are going to have a problem. At some point someone will use a name without permission and then cheat the charity out of the money. Why open the door?” And this personal attack “That would also make a noble effort of bringing the awareness of something as tragic as breast cancer, into something very disgusting which would be taking it upon yourself to violate the very foundation you wish to honor.” Well since you have decided to be judge and jury on this matter and demean me and my efforts I will answer with this. First you asked “What was the process of getting approval from the foundation to use their name on the coin? Did they require anything in particular so as not to violate anything that is registered or copyrighted?” The Foundation requires a Letter of Agreement signed by the both parties. You need to include in your request: Contact Name Business Name, if applicable ,Contact Address ,Contact Phone, e-mail ,Name of Event/Promotion ,Date of Event/Promotion or Length of Time for donation ,Location of Event/Promotion, if applicable, Event/Promotion details,% of proceeds donated . Then you after review of the items above and the art of the coin and the website that was created, if all is favorable a letter will be issued. As it was issued to me. This letter in part reads “Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. (“Komen”) is honored that Those Coin Guys has chosen Komen as the beneficiary of its “Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon Coin” to support the fight against breast cancer. We are pleased that you share our commitment to the advancement of breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment, and we are proud to have the opportunity to partner with you. “ I hope this will allay your fears of my not getting permission, absconding with the funds or what ever else you thought. I wanted to state that with the only 2 people who chose to question this coin, one a coin producer himself, all other correspondence has been favorable. If you wish to support the foundation here is a link to their donation page. Komen Donation web site

Thanks for your order.

Samples ordered!

Thanks for all your orders. Still available!

What's the Canadian one with the moose? My wife would love it! Is this the one? If so thanks, I'm glad she liked my design.

Very good question and thanks for the intrest. Yes we would love to have these coins world wide. In our costing out of the coin we of course added a small amount for domestic postage to arrive at the $8.00 US price. In keeping with our goal to offer a high quality meaningful personalized coin at a fair price, and to have a bit left over for the foundation we would have to add more for international orders. In the past the most expensive mailings have been to the British Isles and down to OZ. Therefore to just add a arbitrary dollar figure for all international orders would not be fair to all. The best way to be fair would be to accept $8 US per coin and since we will have the weight of coins and packing material we could add the estimated mail cost to your invoice. We would use the cost of mailing fromm the USPS website. This cost would be for each country on a one by one basis. This adds a bit of work for us but it is a labour of love after all. Is this fair in your eyes. I await your suggestion.
