+macroderma Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) I've followed the threads with interest being a newbie Do you have an idea of the final cost? Discount for cash ? Edited July 19, 2005 by macroderma
+The Hokesters Posted July 19, 2005 Author Posted July 19, 2005 Cheeky young tike! The final cost is UK£4 per coin with a small discount for quantity. The cost has been kept to the absolute minimum as we are not doing this for profit. A small amount of extra has been added on to go towards server costs and any new dies for new designs. If we never get that far the 'profit' will be donated to charidee. All this info and more can be found at UK Geocoins Simon
+macroderma Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Worth a try ! Put me down for 4 - I will confirm by e-mail I realise a lot of [unpaid] work has gone into this, so thanks in advance
+Stuey Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 ... and more can be found at UK Geocoins Does anyone else think it is ironic that the UK Geocoin is more popular with our foreign friends than with the UK population (by volume anyway)? Fair play I say, it's great that there is such a healthy interest in the coins. I can't wait to get mine
+Wadders Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Sorry for the negativity, but i lost interest as soon as i realised that they would not be on geocaching.com. I don't want to go flicking between pages to track them, i would happiliy have paid the extra for that facility. Good luck with them though. Wadders
sarahjayne Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 fruity&doggit have e mailed and have asked for two thanks for letting us know thanks sarahjayne fruity's wife
+avroair Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 if it is not too late I would like to order 5 (or as many as I can up to five). I can have them sent to an address in Britain too.
+Hi-Tek Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 can you tell me how I may order a couple? Thanks From the Link quoted above - click here Any new pre-orders should also be sent to needcoins@geocoins.co.uk. Don't forget to include your GeoCaching handle and country of residence!
+The Hokesters Posted July 30, 2005 Author Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) We are not asking for payment until we have the coins from the mint and they are ready to ship. At the moment we are probably looking at PayPal payments - more details soon. Thanks Simon Edited July 30, 2005 by The Hokesters
+UKGeoCyclist Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 I can't remember whether or not I've mailed to confirm my 3 coins, and can't find out due to a system crash and lost email. So in case I haven't confirmed, I am still interested in three coins. Cheers, Adrian
+The Hokesters Posted July 30, 2005 Author Posted July 30, 2005 Hi Adrian, Yes you have. See the News Page here. Si
+Fayrewood Foragers Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 If it's not too late late i'd like 3 of the coins. cheers Dan PS will e-mail too.

SlytherinAlex Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 hi i have confirmed and such like and realy realy want them but have no pay pall acount so if anyone would let me give them the cash and then pay via pp or can i send a cheq ???????

+Matrix Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 I would like 2 coins please , I have sent an email to needcoins at geocoins.co.uk.
LoriDarlin Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Greeting from Idaho Sorry to make more work for you but could you bump up my order from 6 coins to 11 coins? Thanks so much....Keep up the great work...they are going to be awesome coins
+The Hokesters Posted August 5, 2005 Author Posted August 5, 2005 We have had a huge response as you can see from the website. The next stage is to set up a PayPal order website to get a few pounds rolling in to help with the deposit on the order with the mint. Hopefully I will manage that this weekend. More news soon including unveiling of the new web design. Simon
+Nottrikk Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 Any idea about the E.T.A. of the coins? Obviously we'll need to pay for them first, but I'm organising a cache bash in Sept and was hoping to get some for raffle prizes. No pressure though Mark S. Team Nottrikk
+The Hokesters Posted August 15, 2005 Author Posted August 15, 2005 Hold tight - we hope to have news very soon.
+NickandAliandEliza Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 Kind of just returned to the fold after being rather busy recently...........are we too late to order a couple?
+NickandAliandEliza Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) Order sent..... Edited August 16, 2005 by Nick & Ali
+The Knights who say Ni Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 Just noticed our order for three has appeared on the site, thanks! These look so nice, I'll be reluctant to let them loose Could keep one 'Mint' I suppose, if it comes individually sealed.
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 They look really nice, is it too late now?
+The Hokesters Posted August 19, 2005 Author Posted August 19, 2005 I think I will be cutting the reins this weekend so let me know how many, your caching name and your country of residence. Simon
+Mr. Fantastic Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 I sent an email asking to increase my order from three to four. I hope I made it under the wire.
Top Cat & Co Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Quality item, put me down for 2. I will comfirm by email. Thanks for all your hard work
+PassingWind Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 I'd like to sqeak in for 1 or 2 coins.....just starting so I missed the beginning.
+The Hokesters Posted August 25, 2005 Author Posted August 25, 2005 Sorry guys - the pre-order book is closed. You will now be put down on a first-come-first-served waiting list. Simon
+bikinibottomfeeders Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 just curious if I could be put on the waiting list for 2 but if only one comes available I will take it too. thanx, BBF
+welch Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 ... and more can be found at UK Geocoins Does anyone else think it is ironic that the UK Geocoin is more popular with our foreign friends than with the UK population (by volume anyway)? Fair play I say, it's great that there is such a healthy interest in the coins. I can't wait to get mine sorta but I think thats the case for most group's coins, most don't stay in 'their' area. You'll likely also notice that the majority of coins are sold in small 1-5 coin lots, and the few big blocks go to also go to collectors, its just its a club/assiocations making a group buy.
+The Hancock Clan Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Just a thought...as these aren't going to be trackable on geocaching.com, would it be feasible to set up a UKgeocoins tracking system like the California geocoins?
markandlynn Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Just a thought...as these aren't going to be trackable on geocaching.com, would it be feasible to set up a UKgeocoins tracking system like the California geocoins? I believe that is part of the original spec. We should also get a bit of code like the canadian geocoins to add to our cache pages. Any progress reports available ? where's the meeting going to be etc
Krew Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 Krew just sent an email to "needscoins" requesting to be added to the waiting list for one UK Geocoin if any are available. Thanks, Fish on!
+The Hokesters Posted October 3, 2005 Author Posted October 3, 2005 Sorry for the delay - holidays, work and life are truly getting in the way plus with folks paying for EU coins I thought some may appreciate the wait. Once I have got back on my feet from my holiday I will finish the website and put in the call for PayPal payments. Simon
+The Hokesters Posted November 1, 2005 Author Posted November 1, 2005 OK folks. Since we began this journey in December 2004 a lot of things have changed including an explosion in interest in Geocoins, the emergence of many new coins which overtook the UK coin and GC.com's about turn on tracking non-Groundspeak coins. Due to their expertise and their experience with EU coin, the UK Geocoin team have made an agreement with gcCOINS.com to produce and distribute the UK coin. The greatest benefit of this is a speedier delivery AND GeoCaching.com tracking for the UK coin! So if you are already down on the order list - stand by your inbox for an email from gcCOINS.com very soon. Make sure you reply quickly to ensure you do not miss this great coin for delivery before Christmas! If you missed out on the order deadline then we are still adding people to the waiting list. People on the wait list will be supplied on a first come, first served basis out of the excess from the order list. If you are not already on the wait list then send an email to ineedcoins@gccoins.com including your Geocaching handle, country of residence and no. of coins required.
+Stuey Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 Great news Simon! Thanks for your continued hard work on this, it is appreciated
dpoet Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 I've just had an e-mail about UK coin, you can have team name laser etched on back, : tackable on geocaching.com I think it looks excellent i can't wait dpoet
SlytherinAlex Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Just a reminder that Monday midnight is the deadline for paying for UK geocins before I throw the wait list open. I know that it is past midnight already, but it is still yesterday over there on the other side of the Atlantic, so midnight PST will do. Alex.
+Haggis Hunter Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 I know that it is past midnight already, but it is still yesterday over there on the other side of the Atlantic, so midnight PST will do. What time is midnight PST?
+rutson Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 Midnight "Pacific Standard time" 8 hours behind GMT, so it's now 17:15 there.
