Just ordered a couple they look great. I was wondering if they have their own icon too?

[+The Mighty Shark]

I have just tried to add my name to the list but when I submitted my request all I got was the following message.

 

Warning: main(../Connections/coin.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/kammneve/public_html/coin/Connections/coin.php on line 11

 

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../Connections/coin.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/kammneve/public_html/coin/Connections/coin.php on line 11

 

Any ideas anyone?

[+mollyjak]

I'm getting that message as well!!!

[+SUp3rFM & Cruella]

Yeah, not working. Set it up straight.

 

We would like one!

[+The Bolas Heathens]

Worked well for us earlier this evening. They are absolutely gorgeous coins

OK - I'll stop trying to be a PHP expert... It's working now and I'll leave it alone !

I have just tried again. This time all it did was take me back to the order page ready to add my details again.

I just hope it's not actually registering all these atteempts at trying to order them as I can see me ending up with loads at this rate

[+Pharisee]

I've just used the order page without any problems. Nice coin... looking forward to seeing what's on the other side

[+CrazyL200]

Order placed

[+Paul & Ros]

Will there be a limited number minted and if so how many ?

 

 

Nice design BTW.

[+macroderma]

As a Cornish exile I am very impressed

 

Order placed - I can't wait

[+Birdman-of-liskatraz]

Nice design BTW.

 

Originally we felt that that we were unlikely to get orders for more than 250 coins... judging by the way things are going I don't feel thats going to be a problem at all...

 

I need to confirm this with others but I feel a maximum number of coins will be 500. Maybe less...

 

Is a limited edition coin of more value? More collectable?

[+Birdman-of-liskatraz]

It was just a 15 min long problem with my not so clever PHP programming skills... honestly its all fine now...

[+mollyjak]

Order sent yesterday - no problem

[+Marsh and About]

Ordered 3 without any problems,

 

fabulous coin !! excellent design, reminds me of our Lancashire Geocoin

 

All of the best of luck with you pre-orders/orders, although you don't need any luck as it looks like everything is going really well for you!!

[+The_Westies]

We ordered some and had no problems. They're lovely.

[+Birdman-of-liskatraz]

Makes a suggestion to other people selling Geocoins.......

 

Make sure your page throws an error message for 10 minutes on the first day!

 

Then everyone who orders thereafter posts to say it's working perfectly now - and hey presto- You stay at the top of the Forum....!!

 

Kewl Plan!!

[+Alibags]

Mmmm, droool... order sent!

[+Birdman-of-liskatraz]

A towel with that order Ali??

[+Stuey]

When are you doing the pasty shaped one Steve?

[+Birdman-of-liskatraz]

Cornwall do a Pasty one??? I thought Devon was claiming the pasty for itself????

[+Stuey]

Not as far as I am aware.... We have the Devon Cream Tea. We could do a foodie series of coins. Cornish Pasty, Devon Cream Tea, hehe

[+Alibags]

No, I shall mop it up with a handy nearby chough!

Edited November 21, 2006 by Alibags

[+Birdman-of-liskatraz]

Careful what you say about the rare endangered choughs Ali... I seem to recall the RSPB have an account on here....

 

Anyway... we've gone over the numbers we need to put the coin into production, so expect e-mails very soon if you've ordered a coin. In the meantime you can still place orders until Friday 24th...... at whcih point the order book will close...

 

Many thanks to everyone and especially for all the positive comments...

Order placed - stunning coin, I can't wait to get my grubby hands on them.

Dorset Knobs are ok, but Dorset Apple Cake or Dorset Blue Vinney would really make my mouth water!

 

Sad you only have the pasty!

*Gasps* is so hurt... You forget I was born in Casterbridge... My Gran was a midwife on Portland, so I'd have to add the Portland Dough cake to the list....

 

and in Cornwall of course we have the Saffron Cake and how could you forget the Clotted Cream? I remember when Blue Vinney was sold and bought. much like I imagine drugs are these days.... with whispers of which farm near Bridport had some!

Wow, more Dorset credentials than even I can muster in that sense! Although I have lived here most of my life, escaping for uni and the like ... I was however born on the edge of The Hamoaze!!! *shock horror*

 

However, I have it on good authority that I come from a long line of Dorrrrrrrrrrrzet folk.

Out of idle interest where is "the edge of The Hamoaze"

Are you asking where is The Hamoaze or which edge?

[+Alibags]

I have been lucky enough to see coughs in Cornwall, and also sitting on the nest in Ireland, and SQUILLIONS of them in Spain.

 

BTW, waht does the motto translate as. I read it as 'Onan' at first and had a 'Phnarrr!!' moment.

One and All? Isn't it the Cornish motto?

[+Tyrolean Maid]

Order placed. Lovely coin.

[+Birdman-of-liskatraz]

Well you learn something everyday.....

 

The Hamoaze (IPA: [ˈhɒmøz] in Cornish) is an estuarine stretch of water at the point where the tidal River Tamar, the River Tavy, and the River Lynher enter Plymouth Sound.

 

You can see The Hamoze from Mikes Geocache named Fred Mudd... a stunning view...

 

But the question remains - which edge?

It is indeed "One and All" The Cornish motto - the spelling of which varies between the different varaties of Cornish...

[+Dorsetgal & GeoDog]

Which edge indeed! The eastern edge, Devonport, so by birth I'm a Devonian!

 

To the unitiated, as far as I am aware the river marks the border between Devon & Cornwall.

[+Al & Tracy Smith]

I must resist - but its a nice shiny coin - will power in short supply so order sent . Its such a well designed coin that I had to have one even though it will only stay for a while before being set free .

Choughs are very common around here;

Chough'n'Gulls - I saw a flock of at least twenty when setting this cache.

[+Birdman-of-liskatraz]

If only seen them in captivity... I'm really looking forward to seeing some Cornish ones in the wild.. It' son out coat of arms, I feel it's a very special bird for us...

[+Molinnis]

Last day to order today as I believe Steve's deadline for pre-orders is midnight tonight.

[+Birdman-of-liskatraz]

Thanks for that Mike... Yep I'll be closing preorders at Midnight (GMT) tonight.. and I'll only be holding a very few spares.. so order today or miss out!
