+gjensen Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Geocachers in Denmark (Europe) are considering making a national DENMARK geocoin. The discussion is still in the brainstorming phase - however funding has been secured. No final coin design has been agreed upon yet. In order to help us determine the size of the initial production run, it would be most helpful if readers of this forum could kindly tell us if you would be interested in buying such a coin, and if so, how many? We would expect the coin to be trackable on geocaching.com and the price to be in the usual US$10 range, plus shipping. If you have other ideas as to what price would be acceptable, please let us know. Please answer the following question: Assuming the coin is reasonably attractive and costs about $10 each, how many DENMARK geocoins would you be interested in buying? Your participation in this survey does, of course, in no way constitute an order, or pre-order for this item. We will use any answers submitted solely to help us determine how many coins to produce. However, if you wish us to contact you, once the coins actually becomes available, please say so in your answer. Thank you very much in advance, gjensen Copenhagen, Denmark Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Is this the same Denmark coin that's already in process by cachers in Denmark through Gccoins? If not, there is already one coming out. So my answer would be most likely none at $10 plus shipping. That's too expensive unless there is a US distributor option.

+RebelJedi Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Depending on shipping. I could possibly buy 1-2. Quote Link to comment
+WWC-World's Worst Cacher Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 None or 1 max at that price. $10 plus shipping is too much. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) $10.00 is where ICE considers a coin to be getting too expensive to look at as a group. Since it would be a country coin we would still be interested but hope that the price comes down a bit when you have better information on production.

I haven't made any progress with plans to produce a Denmark coin, so feel free to scrub that one off my list. Alex. Quote Link to comment

I know it was on your list of coin projects. Maybe you could work with this group to distribute the US orders and get the prices lower so more people would be interested? Quote Link to comment

+BenGeo'en Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I sure would like one or two but at $10.00 plus shipping I might need to get a second job Quote Link to comment
+nielsenc Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Being that my last name is 'nielsen', my Dad is from Denmark and I am half Danish: YES . On cost, $10.00 is ok, but there are coins out from $5.00 -> $12 so you are at the higher range of pricing. Looking forward to the coin Quote Link to comment
+Hase5000 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 For $ 8,00 I would take 2-3 coins... Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Come on people, we all know it doesn't cost $10 plus shipping for a coin to be made (even with profit)!!! When are we all going to wake up???? Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I would want a Denmark coin or 2. But I would be much happier if I could get it for $10 that included the shipping. If it was $10 plus shipping I would have to seriously like the design before getting only get one. Quote Link to comment
Not So Lost Puppies Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Come on people, we all know it doesn't cost $10 plus shipping for a coin to be made (even with profit)!!! When are we all going to wake up???? Probably around the same time that everyone stops buying them because it says 'trackable at geocaching.com' and has its own icon regardless of the coin design and relevance to geocaching. Depending on the design, and final price (hint: get it to be no more than $10 including the shipping) I would be interested in a couple. Quote Link to comment
+BWidget Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I would like to purchase 2 coins, but not for $10.00 apiece plus shipping. Quote Link to comment
+kelly@9 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I would consider buying 2 at $10+shipping, but would pretty much definitely buy 2 if they were cheaper, in the $8 range or so. Well, unless the design was aweful. Quote Link to comment
+DLiming Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I would consider 2 if the price is right. Dan Quote Link to comment

+bob393 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Sure if the price is fair. Quote Link to comment
+nicolo Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I would like to purchase 2 coins, but not for $10.00 apiece plus shipping. Ditto Quote Link to comment
+Inter-Galactic Ice Weasels Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I would like to purchase 2 coins, but not for $10.00 apiece plus shipping. Ditto Same here Quote Link to comment
+bosley Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'd be in for at least 1 maybe 2. Please answer the following question: Assuming the coin is reasonably attractive and costs about $10 each, how many DENMARK geocoins would you be interested in buying?

+Team Professor X Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 If the coin is shipped in Europe I would consider buying them for $ 10 inclusive shipping. But just $ 10 is way too much for a coin. The first Dutch geocoin was about $ 6,50 and I suspect you will mint 1000 or more. Of course some coins in the past costs about $ 10 or more, but they were/are hard to sell. But I'am looking forward for another Europian coin. And I'll visit Danmark in May, so maybe I don't need shipping after all Quote Link to comment
+Cav Scout Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 If they were five dollars each I would probably buy one. Ten dollars is too much... Quote Link to comment
