Your mission was sent 2009/11/30. I thought it would reach you in time as a month is normally enough time to cross the Atlantic ocean. I hope it has been only delayed in customs and is not lost.

pat1609 and I opened our packages on Christmas eve. I'd like to post a few pictures here but unfortunately my mobile phone didn't work right. So all I can say to our secret Sants ist: Thank you very much, we really enjoy your gifts Thanks to dhenninger who organized this mission. We hope you all have a good time, doc256 and pat1609

Santa seems to be a bit slow this year, but he told me he's quite sure your mission under way

As far as I remember these coins were made by the shop that sells them. They were sold in a little plastic bag with a paper slip that had the activation code printed on it.

As far as I can see this coin is not available to non-american buyers at the moment. I haven't found a single shop on the official distributors list that is selling these coins. I don't really understand why Groundspeak excludes so many people that might be interested in this coin. By the way, the first one already is to be sold on eb**.

Had the last two packages in the mailbox. Everything is fine, thanks to all for the trade.

Received packages so far from: dimkasimir, Eleanor, The Moop Along, Icydove, Zarya, Chur, burgessfour, dark_onyx Waiting for three more coins from two traders.

double posting.

Received four more envelopes today: from Dark_Onyx1982, The Moop Along, dimkasimir and burgessfour. Thank you all for the trades.

Received my first package today: Two red herrings from CHUR. Thank you.

Now its Christmas eve and pat 1609 and I have opened our packages. I received one from ECHO ECHO, pat1609 another one from an unknown Santa in New York. Unfortunately the chip im my camera does not work, so I can only post two pictures I did with my PDA In my package I found several very beautiful coins, a little nutcracker, a metallic snowflake, a cute lttle dog, lots of candies and two packages of chocolate truffles. The snowflake has already found a very special place in our christmas tree, and we have tasted the chocolate truffles - delicous. Sarah, you sent us a very gracious christmas present, we embrace you for it. pat1609 (i e. my son Patrick) got several coins and other gadgets and a little plastic figure. He likes his gifts very much and is very happy. Many thanks to our Santas in Arkansas and New York and especially to butterflylady who organised this whole thing. Merry Christmas to everyone. doc256 (Michael) and pat1609 (Patrick)

Its the same with one of my coins. But I think they will have to exchange the whole lot anyway.
