+BackBrakeBilly Posted February 14, 2006 Author Posted February 14, 2006 When we get ready to sell them we will open a new Puzzle Coins Presale Thread here in the forums, I will give everyone a little notice here before the new thread goes live. Thanks for all the great comments on the coins, we are glad that everyone likes them.
+BackBrakeBilly Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 Any progress? Yep.....we decided to have a couple of "test" sets minted to make sure the coins fit just perfect and the different colors of the GC logo "flowed" together. They are in the process of being minted and should be ready soon. As soon as they get here we will get some pictures posted and then start taking orders as the coins are produced. Thanks!
+BenGeo'en Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Can't wait to get a couple of set and as I said in earlier post, put the parts in different caches and maybe have the holders get together at an event and everybody could see the whole thing. Sounds fun and different
team monopoly 1 Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Hi there, I have never seen a coin in a cache , so I have a question , does the coin have the actual tracking number on it ?
+BackBrakeBilly Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) Hi there, I have never seen a coin in a cache , so I have a question , does the coin have the actual tracking number on it ? Hi there too! If it is a GC.com trackable geocoin it will have a tracking number on the coin itself along with the words "Trackable at www.geocaching.com" somewhere near the number.

+BackBrakeBilly Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 Thanks , In that case I would like to buy some of these puzzle coins . These coins will be up for preorders soon. When we get ready to do the preordering we will start a new thread here in the forums.

+The Hall Clan Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 I know I've got you on the phone now but I'm still posting this reply. I love it, tell Katie that the idea is perfect, I'm in. Greg the GaAustringer
+The Amigos Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Can't wait!!!! Hurry!!! java script:emoticon('', 'smid_18')
+BackBrakeBilly Posted February 21, 2006 Author Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) Just to let everyone know some details..... The coins will be 1.75 inch per piece so the total of the whole set when together will be 3.5X3.5 inches. As for the price, each individual coin will cost $7.50 for a total of $30 for the whole set plus shipping. The coins are being done in Silver. Each individual piece will have a different GC.com tracking number for a total of 4 for the set. The set will have it's own custom icon which is being worked on at this time. I will start a new thread shortly for those who want to reserve their place for these coins. Thanks again to everyone for all the good comments on the idea and artwork.

+BackBrakeBilly Posted February 21, 2006 Author Posted February 21, 2006 how many will be made? At least 250 sets. Another thing I forgot, we are asking for the PZ#### prefix for the tracking numbers if that matters to anyone. Thanks.
