WOW just got mine in the mail and I must say that the pictures on coinsandpins.com do not do it justice. I've seen that a lot though with coins and pictures. Well to all those who do buy one or two I hope you enjoy them. I'm still amazed at how good it looks in person. Thanks Justin (AKA Cachanova)

Some of you had shown some interest in my coin back when we did the Idaho Micro Coin. Well it's finally done and ready to go. It is being sold through coinsandpins.com Couple of reasons why I did this coin... First one is simple I wanted my own trackable personal geocoin.. Who wouldn't? Second it was a perfect opertunity to make a geocoin in a shape that has only been done a couple of times... First of a lot of people usually don't say my caching name correctly so first to explain that so it makes sence. Cachanova is a Play on words for Casanova the guy who loved lots and lots of women. So the propper nunciation for Cachanova is (cashahnova). So the intent was that my caching name "cachanova" would mean that I love all caches. Anyways about the coin. It comes in 2 flavors Gold and Nickel... It is a 1.75 inch coin and in the shape of a heart. Really you have to see it... Here are the links to view and to purchase. I hope some people like the simplicity of the design and enjoys them..... Nickel Cachanova Coin Gold Cachanova Coin

You didn't run away from it and sorted it out Cachanova, that's the main thing. Thanks for doing that There was some talk of me moving to WYOMING. LOL I'm not one to run away from something. I do wish I had handled some things differently. I hurt some relationships with my local cachers and hope that time will fix those wounds. Thanks for the reply. Cachanova

Well I think that is everyone. I would like to appologize for the errors I made durring this coin process. I think everything went pretty well until I had some issues with orders and my personal life. Please again I'm very sorry. If there is anything else I can do please let me know. thanks Cachanova

Very glad you got your coins. Thank you for the kind words it means alot. Thanks Cachanova

Still nothing here... Hey could you shoot me an email with your Paypal info? I just need the real name associated with the account to check on it. cachanova@ruralnetwork.net Thanks Cachanova

I've had a few people asking about the activation code so I'll throw it out again so it's easier to find. Sorry I didn't include it with the coins. The activation code for all the coins are the same. igomicr07 If anyone has problems with it please let me know. Hey I got more good news. My geocaching Nickname is going to be in the Dictionary "Cachanova". The defenition is something along the lines of a Geocaching term used to express anger and dis-pleasment with a project. LOL Sorry had to strum the cord one last time. Well If anyone still does not have there coins (I don't know if it's even possible) contact me. thanks Cachanova

Sorry all coins are gone.................. Best bet is to work out a trade. Email me and I might know someone who would give you a coin or two. cachanova@ruralnetwork.net

Hmm sorry I double posted. Server error came up and I posted again before checking to see if it posted. Sorry Cachanova

Any day now. They will get there. Please post here when you get them if you could or email me and I'll post that you got them. Thanks Cachanova

It may be at your door any day now. I know yours went out and if you don't have it by monday let me know and i will put another in the mail. I bet you get it before monday though. Please if anyone does not have there coin by monday let me know. I'm sure they will get there. Post master doesn't like me anymore but atleast we have an understanding. Thanks Cachanova

The second order for Canada must have been mine. We seem to be in the same boat. Pardon the pun, Kootenay Pirates. Welcome to my club. Yep you are one of them. ALL COINS ARE SHIPPED. If you don't have them soon let me know. Cachanova

I'm a bit confused. Are you in Arizona? I thought you were in Canada? Please email me with the correct Address and how you paid for the coins. If you have the transaction ID if you used paypal that would be even better. Thanks Cachanova cachanova@ruralnetwork.net March 4th e-mail re-sent, Ah Ok. Now I gotcha. Coins are on the way. Let me know when you get them. Thanks Cachanova

WOW. What a waste of time. OK.. There were 2 problems. Looks like the customs form fell off of one of them and the others were rejected because of no value. I'm at a loss. The post office was the ones to actually put that little sticker thing on them so who knows how it fell off. I also can't figure out why when I filled that form out in front of the postal worker they didn't tell me I had to put something there. OK OK OK. Deep Breath.... So they are back in the mail. Post master himself filled out the customs form and promised me no problems (I know where he lives). Next step I guess will be to buy a plane ticket if this doesn't work. Cachanova

Sorry I'm not at my normal laptop. Please PM me your real name so I can check on the status and how you paid for the coin. Your username isn't ringing a bell. Thanks Cachanova

I promise, you will get them. I can't wait for my meeting today with the post master. He is going to get a piece of my mind. Yes yours was one of the ones returned from Canada. I can't imagine what I did wrong since the postal worker helped me get all of the returned international orders ready for shipping. So frustrated it's not even funny. I will post an update later with what they have to say. Thanks for being patient (really really patient). Cachanova

Well to smear my rep. even more I got 4 packages sent back to me. 2 from the UK and 2 from Canada. I'm going down to talk to the Post Master today to do some yelling. I'm sorry for yet another delay and they will go back out today and i'm going to really let the Post Master know what I think of the postal system. I'll post an update later this evening with what happened at the post office. Cachanova

Yep, we're still waiting, although to be fair Justin did contact us asking for confirmation of our address. That was on March 5th, so they should be due here any time now (International order). Russ Yep yours are in the mail also. You should see them any day. Please let me know if they don't show up soon. Still nothing has arrived I'm afraid Hmm I checked my mail and it hasn't been returned yet. Keep the Faith. :-)

And here I was thinking they would show up at my house in Wyoming! Do you need one? I'd be happy send one to Wyoming... Sure I will start one from here. Let me know if you want my address. Ya...sure...I'd love to get one of these travelers started in Wyoming. Seems fitting (Just making a joke, Cachanova) Email me an addy...I'll send an activated coin started from one of my caches here in Oregon. Give me a few days to get it prepped...need to drill a hole through it and attach a split ring. LOL. I laughed till I stopped. I don't think I had an order from Wyoming. Hmmmm

Ya I had some problems with international orders especially in canada and mexico. For some reason the guy at the post office told me I didn't have to do a form 2976 (declaration form or something) like I did with all the other international orders and they got returned (4 orders). I was not happy. Since he screwed up they did pay for the postage. You should get them anytime. I have never had so much trouble with the postal system in my life. I think I'm jinxed. Let me know if you don't get them soon. Thanks Cachanova

You just got your coins? Now I feel bad for complaining. I figured that most had already recieved theirs by now. edit for spelling.... Most had already recieved theirs. I had about 250 orders. I think more people would be complaining if most of them didn't get them before life threw me a curve. Glad you all got your coins. Still a few more in the mail that I have not heard back about but sure I will soon. Have a nice St. Patricks day. Cachanova

LOL I'm going to let them guess. LOL. I didn't even think of if when I wrote it. Thats great. LOL

So anyone know whats up with the IGO forums?

We are both celebrating. I am really truly sorry for how long it took to get the coins to you. I would also like to say that If anyone has not got there coins yet (with the exception of a few international orders) you should contact me ASAP because everything has been shipped. International orders should give it another week. Soooooooo...... Do you like the coin? LOL Cachanova
