Blackcap Barons Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Now here is an invasion that nobody heard about before. A quick geography lesson: Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Maybe it is like the Georgia - Ontario coins. It is for Finland but produced by Dutch folks. I dunno.... Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 My 6 cent bid didn't last long. Quote Link to comment
+hydnsek Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) This is the Finland coin that was just released. They took orders a while back; here's the latest thread. Edited January 29, 2006 by hydnsek Quote Link to comment

SCP-173 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 In before the lo... There's nothing unique at all about that auction. Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 4 bids and it's up to $0.40. I suppose people are a little befuddled (those that didn't get the geography lesson in the OP). Quote Link to comment
SCP-173 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Am I wrong? Is there something different about this coin from all the other Finland coins? Quote Link to comment
+GeoBrowns Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) LOL! Look at the auction header! Dutch Findland. 2 different coins, not one and the same! Edited January 29, 2006 by GeoBrowns Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 LOL! Look at the auction header! Dutch Findland. 2 different coins, not one and the same! I think what GeoBrowns (and the OP) is trying to say is that they are selling a Finland geocoin, but listed it as a Dutch Finland geocoin. --Marky Quote Link to comment
+team simpson Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 wow, that's a real special one. by the way, nobody here in holland wears clogs, we only sell them to tourists Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 In before the lo... There's nothing unique at all about that auction. Varsgeld, we have new guidelines: "Links to Ebay sales of trackable geocoins are permitted, but only for unactivated coins or sales where the seller is the actual coin owner or the coin owner has granted explicit permission for the sale of their coin." What the seller does not say is whether the coin has been activated or not, who's the owner, or that the owner has given permission. But the seller probably isn't the OP who posted the link in here either. He also edited to say: For the people that may be confused, this is a Finland Geocoin. I made a mistake when listing the title. Quote Link to comment

+D@nim@l Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) Wait this is awesome advertising for my Pennsylvania Dutch geocoin!!!! There is also a LE with a hex built in if you steal it. Edited January 29, 2006 by D@nim@l Quote Link to comment
+1markymark1 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Give it a rest folks..... I backed out the title of an earlier auction and left the word Dutch in by mistake.... Unbelievable what get's people stirred up.... Guess I should have just cancelled the auction listing but then I would have had someone pissed becaused they already bid on it.... Guess a guy can't win now a day's..... Quote Link to comment
+LZ33 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'm sure the coin will do better with all this attention it's getting... So which country is the coin from? Quote Link to comment

+Fundamental Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 There is nothing to do with the dutch about this coin. It's designed by me and Alex. The other flags are Åland islands (autonomical islands) and native north peoples flag. And yes Santa is from Finland. He lives in Korvatunturi Finland. http://www.joulupukki.fi/ Quote Link to comment
+TuuronTour Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 There's a Santa Village at the Arctic Circle near Rovaniemi, I have been there Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 There's a Santa Village at the Arctic Circle near Rovaniemi, I have been there There used to be a Santa's Village in Scotts Valley, California. It's not there any more. I guess it melted. --Marky Quote Link to comment
