+LadeBear68 Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Coins look great. How do I log the coin? Quote
+57chevy Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) I went to www.gccoins.com/2active.php enter the complete code on coin, EUxxxx-xxxx it will give you a code to use on the geocaching.com website. at that site just use the EUxxxx number. you dont need the last numbers on geocaching.com activation page. You will need the code given to you at the gccoins page though. Hope this helps. Edited October 17, 2005 by 57chevy Quote
+legm Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 I got my coins today without a code to acctivate them. Where do I get the code at?? Legm Quote
+TeamMaddog Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 I finally was able to activate once I went searching for a thread. Why did'nt they send info with coin?? Quote
+-{LoS}-Xile Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) on the back side of my coins was a stapled piece of paper explaining exactly what to do to activate the coins Edited October 18, 2005 by -{LoS}-Xile Quote
+trail hound Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I also tried to activate my coins 'As per Instructions' AND COULDN'T Nice coin ...Just cacn't seem to activate it!!!! Quote

+Katydid & Miles Stone Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Had no trouble activating it once we followed the instructions on the paper that came with it. This is a hefty coin, very nice job. Quote
+Mystery Ink Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Got ours today, Thanks they look very nice. Quote
+elmosmelmo Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Alex, I got my coin today and they are beautiful Thanks so much for doing such a great job. Quote
+hydnsek Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Coins arrived in Seattle today - thanks, Alex, they look great! Quote
SlytherinAlex Posted October 18, 2005 Author Posted October 18, 2005 Sorry folks. I guess one or two coins got shipped without the activation instructions. I also thought is was obvious that you put the EU number in the top box and the coin number in the bottom one. Anyone still having problems activating? Alex. Quote
SlytherinAlex Posted October 18, 2005 Author Posted October 18, 2005 I got my coins today without a code to acctivate them. Where do I get the code at?? Legm The code is stamped on the coin. EUxxxx - 1234 alex Quote
dpoet Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Still waiting for mine can't wait to see it Quote
+Prairiepartners Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Received coins yesterday and they look great! Thanks! Quote
+BilboB Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 2 coins arrived yesterday. My 3 year old quickly laid claim to one (it is already in her money drawer to her cash register), and I was able to activate the other one. Great job and they look excellent. Quote
+BisonWoman Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I got my coins! Thanks! They look great! Quote
+Cache & Keri Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Got my coins today......already activated one of them! Quote
+AZPAUL Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Thanks for the instructions on how to activate, my coin didn't have the instructions stapled to it. I got it activated. I thought that they had their own icon. gc.com is only showing there generic icon. What gives?? I to was surprized how heftly the coin is . Very nice coin. Quote
+budd-rdc Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 No problems activating the coins using the stapled instructions provided. Thank you for a very nice Geocoin. As others have noted, the icon is still the generic . It would be nice to hear reassurances that this is temporary. Quote

I'm sick of asking them to upload it to the site. Alex. Quote
+Matrix Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 If the UK coins are not shipping until the 22nd does that mean that all the low numbers have gone to the US/Canada customers ? Quote
+ShowStop Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 If the UK coins are not shipping until the 22nd does that mean that all the low numbers have gone to the US/Canada customers ? Nope. I got my 10 coins yesterday. All but one was in the 700s. The one lone coin was in the mid 200s. Quote
+YoGuRt99 +1 Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Received mine yesterday.. Thanks Again Quote

Nope. I got my 10 coins yesterday. All but one was in the 700s. The one lone coin was in the mid 200s. No it doesn't work that way. Everyone got at least one coin in the sequence that their order was received. So the ones for UK and Europe are still going to get low numbered coins. Alex. Quote

+FlyinV Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 See the USA geocoins website in a couple of days to place your order. Just paid for 3! Thx! Quote
+Eric K Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 See the USA geocoins website in a couple of days to place your order. Just paid for 3! Thx! Darn, word gets out fast. We put the link up there but wasn't going to post until we finish getting through this back log of Compass Rose geocoins. We are about 3/4 of the way through those at the moment. Quote
+Cog&Gil Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 We received our EU geocoins at the post office today. Love the spiral of languages on the back that exclaims"Having Fun Exploring Europe"!The activation took several attempts. Quote
+wifireman Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Why is activating my coin so difficult. It shouldnt be. Ive tried 3 times exactly to the directions and following the forum info... This is stupid.!! Someone needs to get this figured out.!! someone email me what the problem is. I type in the code exactly as its stamped on the coin. EU****-0122 Smokey Quote
+LadeBear68 Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Well, that is because you are doing it wrong. On the back of the cardboard you received should be instructions on how to activate it or review prior posts where it is listed. It actually is very easy. Quote

+LadeBear68 Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Are you putting all the numbers on teh same line? Quote
+LadeBear68 Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 PM me the numbers and I will try to help you. (I all ready have three of them so not a scam to get the numbers) Quote
+wifireman Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 yes.. I put in EU****-0122 I put it in exactly everytime. Quote
+LadeBear68 Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Did you separate them into two different boxes? Is there a difference between zeros and "O"s? Quote
+wifireman Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 ok.. finually got it.. took 5 times. but I got it. Thanks everyone. Smokey Quote
+AZPAUL Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I got my coin and it is really nice, I just wished I had ordered more of them. I thought that it was supposed to have its own personal icon, but all I am getting on my stat page is the generic coin icon with the cent sign in the middle. Any body know what the deal is?? Thanks, Paul Cox aka "AZPAUL" Quote

Thanks, Paul Cox aka "AZPAUL" If the coin is due to have its own icon, it wouldn't be the first time that the actual icon took awhile to show up. The Ohio icon just showed up this week and I've had the coin for about a month already. So, who wants to trade one of these for a pdxmarathonman geocoin? (see the link below). Email me.

+LadeBear68 Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Ok, I give, what is the picture for the OH icon? Quote
