+Half-Canadian Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 The first meeting of the new BCGA board of directors took place last night, and one of the items for discussion was the minting of a British Columbia geocoin. Before we pursue this further, we thought it would be a good idea to see if there were enough people interested to make it worthwhile. No thoughts yet on design, but this would be an enamelled metal coin, possibly with tracking available. Cost would likely be in the same range as other similar coins recently issued -- around $7.00 CDN or $5.00 US plus shipping. Let us hear from you -- post a note here or in the Canada Forum if you would be interested, and how many you might like to order to give us some idea of whether or not to pursue this further.

+Damenace Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Coin collecting is really big right now. If you mint they will purchase, Good luck. Personally I am interested and I am sure NurseDave will let you know how many the group needs(100?). Damenace Quote Link to comment

+Ladybug Kids Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 From your neighbor to the Northwest...Ladybug Kids would be in for five. Just a word of caution since someone mentioned using native artwort...after getting some politically correct advice from an Alaskan cacher in the sign-making business, we stayed away from it for the Alaska geocoin. Many of the symbols and designs have religious and cultural significance to indigenous people and issues arise when they are used out of proper context. Quote Link to comment
+CENT5 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Interested in 10 here. Thanks Quote Link to comment

+LittleBlue Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 That's true about the NW art- I was thinking maybe someone could draw something original- maybe just a salmon or something. Of course, we have plenty of natural beauty to last many hundreds of coin designs here in the NW . Quote Link to comment
