+Myth Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 How much do the coins cost in US $? Thank you At the moment 1 Euro is about 1.20 Dollar (although Paypal may use another rate...). Quote Link to comment

+Crowesfeat30 Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Question: I made a preorder for a five coin set of the coins and my order now says "awaiting payment". I see no button to pay. Will I be invoiced? And if so when? Thanks. CF30 Quote Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I ordered the 5-pack with priority shipping. Love the design Quote Link to comment
+HiDude_98 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Picked up a set too. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Nice design! Isn't the Fazanten coin the first Dutch micro coin? Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Such a cutie coin! Great job guys! I went for the 10 pack. In the hopes of being one of the lucky ones that gets a LE Black Nickel! I will have some available for trade! Quote Link to comment
+Myth Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Fazanten was the first Dutch micro coin that was designed, but it was never produced. Instead, Fazanten is making a 'normal' coin now. So, The Tulip is the first Dutch micro coin that will see the light of day. Nice design! Isn't the Fazanten coin the first Dutch micro coin? Quote Link to comment
+Myth Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 We're about to give the mint a 'go' for the production. So, the final number of coins has to be determined. Therefore, this is a 'last call for orders'. If you didn't order yet, this is you last chance... Quote Link to comment
+Myth Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 The first prototype of the Dutch microcoin is ready. There are still some minor flaws, but they will be corrected before the final production run. As you can see the coin has a perfectly smooth surface because of the imitation hard enamel used. Right now we're waiting for the tracking codes, but after that it's only a matter of weeks before we can start filling those empty micros Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 The coins look really nice! Kudos to the production team. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 KK informed me that these coins arrived on Monday. So I expect that they will be shipping this week. Quote Link to comment

+Myth Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The coins came in yesterday from the mint and the mailers are ready to be filled. I hope we can ship all the coins this week. btw they look great (but then again, I'm a little biased) Quote Link to comment
