+9Key Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hello! The 2006 Texas Geocoin is now for sale! Its is trackable on geocaching.com and features its own icon. For more information regarding the coin and to make a purchase please visit the TXGA online store If you're attending GeoWoodstock be sure to choose the "pick up at event" shipping option and save a buck or two. Coin buying groups, please email me before placing an order. The back design incorporates the the six national flags have flown over Texas since the first European exploration of the region by Cortez in 1519. The flags are: Spain, France, Mexico, Texas as an independent nation, Texas in the Confederate States, and the United States. This design was chosen by the members of the Texas Geocaching Association, so its as "official" as a state coin can get. The proceeds from this coin go directly toward the cost of GeoWoodstock and other events that we hold thoughout the year. Thank you! Quote Link to comment

+RustyBeerCan Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Thank's This BIG 2 inch Texas geocoin will look even BIGGER next to the Texas mini geocoin Got a GeoWoodstock geocoin too Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) I like this one, but then I think I'm a bit biased Props to crake for the winning design! Here's a trivia question: While you can't see all of the stars on the US flag on the coin, how many stars were represented on the US flag when it was first hoisted over the capitol building in Austin? If anyone would like to work in some SNL Jeopardy schtick into their answer I sure could use a laugh. Edited April 22, 2006 by 9Key Quote Link to comment

+Lazer Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Got 3 and 3 Geowoodstock coins too! Quote Link to comment
+graylling Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 well I was going to order one but when the shipping to Canada is more than the cost of the coin itself I'll have to pass.... Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 well I was going to order one but when the shipping to Canada is more than the cost of the coin itself I'll have to pass.... I'll check into that. Something is amiss with the non-US shipping charge calulations. Its always something! Quote Link to comment
+Rubiconlwb Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I PP'd for one of each coin, they are very nice looking coins and should be worth the long wait! These are the first coins I have purchased in a while, nothing else has really struck me as being something I want in my collection. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Coins are here and have begun shipping! A couple of answers before you ask questions ~ * Orders for *only* Texas coins are shipping * Orders combined with GeoWoodstock coins and / or shirts will not ship until after the event in June * Here is the icon - http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=542966 * Coins are still available here - http://www.texasgeocaching.com/catalog/pro...?products_id=32 Quote Link to comment
+fishingfools Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 coin newbie needs help! I went to the TXga.net/coins/activate site and registered. I entered my coin number and recieves a message that it was active, but i never got an activation code for geocaching.com. Any help? Quote Link to comment
+tokencollector Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I too had a problem with retrieving my codes. I e-mailed the support address on the bottom of the home page; described my problem; and, included my tracking codes. I got a prompt reply with the activation codes. A nice geocoin with excellent service! Quote Link to comment
+GrnXnham Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I ordered the Texas coins only but haven't received them yet. Have they all shipped by now? Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I ordered the Texas coins only but haven't received them yet. Have they all shipped by now? Email 9key directly. Some got mailed and then GW4 duties really picked up for him. I got the impression the rest would be shipped after the event. But please email him to confirm that. Quote Link to comment
+mytfine65&geogal Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Are the Texas coins all sold out? I went to the site and it said no product. Sure would like one. Quote Link to comment
+The Walkabouts Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Have all coins been shipped? We have not received ours yet. Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) I think that if you ordered GW4 coins along with your Texas coins they were all going to ship together after the event. So look for them in early June. Edited May 24, 2006 by ParentsofSAM Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Have all coins been shipped? We have not received ours yet. As mentioned a few days ago. The remaining orders on these coins most likely won't ship till after GW4. And if you ordered the TX and GW4 coins together, they definitely won't ship till after the event, which was stated on the original order form. All the Texas folks are super busy this weekend with GW4. You most likely won't get an answer from any of them here in the forums. Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 AG and POS are correct. The rest of the coins will ship after the event. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 AG and POS are correct. The rest of the coins will ship after the event. And Joni makes I liar outta me since she found time to post See you tomorrow Joni Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Well, I am very busy, but I keep checking the forums. What if the coolest coin in the world gets announced and I miss it! LOL I look forward to seeing everybody! Be sure to come by the GW4 store to say howdy! (uh, and buy stuff...) Quote Link to comment
+Shilo Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 AG and POS are correct. The rest of the coins will ship after the event. Is the event over yet? I'm still waiting for mine. Can we get an update please? Thanks Quote Link to comment
hobo dude Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 curious about the GW4 coins. I had ordered one and have not seen it in the mail yet. How about more on the Rte 66 series as well?? Quote Link to comment
+The Dream Cachers Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 We're waiting on the GW4 coins also! Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 We're working on the orders (200+) and hope to finish them this weekend. Needed a weekend off after GW. Thank you for your patience. Quote Link to comment

kg4kpg Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I don't know how I missed this one. Now I'm stuck hoping for a trade or someone to sell me one. All I have to trade is a Navstar, not activated and a 2005 Texas, activated but never cached. I'd be willing to give both for a 2006 Texas. Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 2007 is in the works! Look for an announcement soon! Quote Link to comment
