SlytherinAlex Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 The coins are here in the UK, and look BRILLIANT, even though I do say so myself. I saw about 10 other geocoins when I was in Texas last week and the EU one is by far the best. I will begin shipping on Monday to everyone who bought and paid for coins. Anyone who hasn't paid yet, should do so now, or you will not get your order. Alex. Quote Link to comment
SlytherinAlex Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 Coins will be shipped in order sequence but it is going to take about a week to get them all out. One box got stuck in customs in Anchorage (don't ask) and is still swimming its way over the Atlantic as we speak. I'm not expecting delivery until next Thursday so that is going to hold things up a little. Alex. Quote Link to comment

+Haggis Hunter Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Fantastic looking coin Alex, thank you very much. One question if I can though, on the serial number there is a number after the hyphen, once the coin is registered is this number needed for people to log the coin, or do they just use the Alphanumeric code before the hyphen?

+Landsharkz Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 We're waiting anxiously across the pond... have you mailed the ones to Canada yet? I keep checking the post, but nothing so far. I grew up near 'Centrality' so these coins are near and dear to me. I haven't been back home to Scotland for 5 years; when I make it back next time, I'll be geocaching! My heart's in the Highlands...

They were all mailed on Friday 14th October in Georgetown, Texas. At least one Canadian order arrived today though. So there is hope. Alex. Quote Link to comment
+Pieman Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Just activated mine- thanks. There was a nice icon when these were first mooted rather than the US geocoin icon which is now on my stats page- was the EU icon not possible? Quote Link to comment

There was a nice icon when these were first mooted rather than the US geocoin icon which is now on my stats page- was the EU icon not possible? Email Groundspeak. I'm fed up with asking them about it and fed up of being promised that it will be fixed. You will get the new icon eventually, but at the moment I have no idea when. alex. Quote Link to comment
Andys101 & Redfrock Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 home from work and there sat an inviting parcel on the front mat - and no it wasn't from my cats. thanks Alex the coins are great! Quote Link to comment

+Stuey Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) I have set one up as a Virtual if anyone wishes tp log it it can be found here Moote's Virtual EU Geocoin Thanks Milton, I've logged it! My EU coin is staying in my pocket too, but to get the number and log it, you have to go caching in mainland Europe and let me know. Once you have the number, you can place it in one of the foreign caches you went to and I'll then grab it back. Trips taken before today don't count.

I wonder if they are using 'follow road' or 'off road' let's hope it's off-road and up high! I put a note on my door for the postman to leave any parcels on the step (if we're not home they return them to the post office and make us drive there to get them) The UK has such wonderful postal service compared to Canada's... sigh.

+Mad H@ter Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 We received ours today, many thanks . BUT unfortunately I do have a complaint, these coins are far to good to be let out on their own , I think it will be a rare site to see one of these traveling around in ammo boxes . Great job well done, and so efficient. Quote Link to comment

+Team Maddie UK Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 My four were waiting for me when I got up this morning.
