I'm in. Just don't make it too late at night. And Hooters is kid friendly! Really...

[propaganda]We could always split Alaska in two and relegate Texas to status as the 3rd largest state in the Union. [/propaganda] Ok. No picking on each others states. I was born in Texas, but have lived in California since I was five. So y'all be nice now y'hear? .

There's a coin idea... With Alaska/Hawaii on the back - another coin not needed. And we don't need another coin

I had not thought of the cost of the "fifth" coin either. Thank you. And I have some friends who live on Whidbey Island (Washington State) and they make trips to the "mainland" all the time.

How about this for an idea. Not a very clean example and Hawaii would be on the left in the Hawaii-Aleutian time zone. But it gets the idea across. I kind of like it. Christian?

96% "Useful suggestion": hang a fifth coin off the 'left' coast with a representation of Alaska and Hawaii on it - since we're used to being 'altered' in most map views for convenience, a size alteration would be fine...; If you don't want to be inclusive of all the states, don't dare call it something that implies it represents all of the United States! Not spoken in jest, but in fairness - what if we left off Florida to keep the 'right coast' clean-looking?; All that being said, the existing design of the contiguous time zones is an excellent one - it just needs to not be represented as all of the United States unless it really is all of the United States. I agree with the "hanging" idea. AK and HI should be included. Never has been a reference to representing all of the United States, just *most* of the time zones. United We Cache coin delegated AK and HI to the back. It kept the design clean. Would it hurt to put AK and HI on the back? As in Ladybug kids put Alaska all the way across the U.S. could we put that same graphic on the back of the coins? Just the outline of the two states with the clocks on the top of each zone? What do you think gang? Keeps the outside shape the same but gets the idea of how big Alaska really is on the back? I had not seen that represented before and am suitably impressed!

Still only in the design phase by Oakcoins. Just getting input. Look at other four piece sets for an idea?

Oops!

Someone came up with the idea to make a map of the United States that was pieceable. Each state would have been it's own piece. But with Texas and California so big and Rhode Island so small, it just was not going to work out. Then I came up with the time zone idea. Large pieces and only four. Great. This is what I submitted to Oakcoins. Now the idea of adding the other two zones has come up. And gotten away from the original idea. There is no way to incorporate these two zones (states) and look nice. Unless someone can show me otherwise

How about 2 out of 3? Monsterlist Lists trackability and icon - just not the cost.

Here is a map from the link above: Now all you Guamanians, Palauian, Puerto Ricoians and Virgin Islanders - stay out of this! As noted in previous thread, part of Alaska is in the Hawaii time zone. And even in this picture, not all of Arizona is the same zone. AAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!

Christian just e-mailed me to maybe add a fifth coin. An AK/HI combo coin. Whaddya think?

Just wondering when you would, uh , join in . You can't make everyone happy.

So, no changes at all so far. Go Padres!

Hmmm..... I had not noticed the color scheme. So leave the colors alone. Now what about the other two states on the back?

I submitted this idea to Oakcoins (nielsenc) and this is what he has come up with so far. He is doing the coin, just asking me for ideas. I did think that Arizona and Indiana should be different colors, being that they either have a non changing time zone or a mix of time zones in the state. He also asked about Alaska and Hawaii. I liked how the "United We Cache" coin got both states on the back. But I don't see how that could be done on this design. Well, they could be incorporated on the back also with the states in a different color and a clock at the top like the front. Christian says there will be 250 - 300 sets made. They should be GC.com trackable, but unknown on the icon. I don't know what metal or finish they will be done in. Submit ideas here!

Great looking coin! e-mail sent.

I'll trade my black nickel and gold personal non-GC trackable geocoin for the same. See my trading list in signature. Black nickel is to the left <--
