It is a personal coin, isn't it? JLAM-D is a geocacher and has made a coin with his name on it with a theme that he personally cares about. Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 This is nice... Is there a US version of this? There needs to be multi-country versions of a personal coin? Since when? Quote Link to comment
+JLAM-D Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 (edited) All, Thank you for all of the email with regards to our coin. Will will send you updates as to timeline once they become available. Yes, this is a personal coin, as our family has a very strong connection to this design. The Dad in JLAM-D is a serving member of the Canadian Forces. Our coin was designed by Mr. Landsharkz, a retired member of the Canadian Forces as well, and this topic is also very close to his heart. We did not think to do a multi-country version, but we do recognise and support all service member deployed away from family an friends, regardless of nationality.
