SlytherinAlex Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) Latest news on the Scotland geocoins is that they should ship in Europe and North America towards the end of next week. Production was held up due to Chinese New Year (something I had never even considered). Future projects on the books. March Coins being produced and marketed world-wide on behalf of local geocachers: Luxembourg Portugal Production of the standard coins will be limited but generally available and 100 LE coins will be made for sale to residents of these countries only April The Luck Irish Lepracoin South Dakota (Mrs Slytherin whose whole family are from SD is designing this one - not fully agreed yet but one face will feature a 3D Mount Rushmore) We have been approached to produce a national coin for France and Denmark so they will probably be the next. Anyone wanting to be added to our mailing list for advance ordering of coins should send an email to mailing@gccoins.com Alex. Edited February 15, 2006 by SlytherinAlex Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Question on your statements... luxembourg & portugal are ONLY for sale to those countries residents OR the LE editions are only for sale to those countries residents? Quote Link to comment
SlytherinAlex Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Question on your statements... luxembourg & portugal are ONLY for sale to those countries residents OR the LE editions are only for sale to those countries residents? The Luxembourg with the black surround on the front face will be a limited edition of 100 and for sale to Luxembourg residents only. The Portugal will be in polished nickel with a limited edition of 100 in polished gold for sale to Portugal residents only. These coins have been designed by geocaching groups in the respective countries and gcCOINS are helping with the production and marketing. Other European country national coins may be produced in the future on a similar basis. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Okay, so the standard edition of each coin will be available to everyone. That's all I wanted to know Quote Link to comment

Why shouldn't I tell you? I have changed the wording of my original post to make things a little clearer I hope. a. Edited February 15, 2006 by SlytherinAlex Quote Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Oops, I've been working on a design for "LepreCoins" for awhile. That could conflict with the planned April "Lepracoin." I snooze, I lose! But, the designs would be totally different so perhaps it doesn't matter. (I am assuming that the Ireland coin would not prominently feature a hamster!) The other coins look like first-rate designs so I imagine I'd be interested in the Lepracoins when they're offered. Good work. Quote Link to comment
