+PennyPacker Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) When I decided to make my own coin there were several reasons behind that decision. Just having my own coin with my Geonick on it was the primary reason, a little token of my involvement and support of this sport. I also wanted to help minimize my future coin expenditures by having a trade item to bargain with, rather than a credit card! I wanted to be able to give away some coins to friends, leave some behind in caches and to activate and track some of them. Of course giving some away in these forums was a high priority because, well, everybody likes to get a free coin... right? In light of all that, my financial goal was to at least break even. 'Breaking even' has different meanings to different people here. After all the costs (most of you know what they are) I wanted to have a couple dozen coins in my hand and to have experienced the whole coin-making process which has been exciting, terrifying and educational. I'm real close to that 'breaking even' goal, so I guess I can start giving back. But first a wannabe give-away. The next 5 Joe 6-Pack coin orders (click the link in my sig line) with 2 or more coins ordered will receive their choice of a free gold or silver coin. If you order 3 or more coins I'll throw in a Black Nickel coin instead (if you prefer) - only 25 of these made. I'll post here when the 5 free ones are gone. <edited to add: they're gone - thanks for the orders > Now for the real give-away. I've got 5 more coins (your choice of gold or silver) for the first 5 people that can tell me what name Ms. PennyPacker and I have given to our Yamaha Rhino. Post your answer here. Good luck.

+PennyPacker Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) I always miss the giveaways!!! Darnit! LOL Here's another chance to win a gold or silver Joe coin. Of the 7 coins given away yesterday, one finish request clearly out-numbered the other. One winner had no preference. Tell me which finish was requested the most (gold or silver) and how many of the 6 remaining coins were requested in this finish. First correct answer wins. Try to limit guesses to one per hour.

I know this... I wish I had thought of that ! How 'bout this... the first reply in this thread after 2:00am pacific time on 2-3-07 gets their choice of gold or silver. I'll even pick up the international shipping, since you guys may have an edge. To clarify, it's the time on my end that the post is reported/recorded. BTW, 2:00am is NOT after 2:00am. Please, only losers non-winners from earlier contests. And, if you've already purchased a Joe 6-Pack coin, I'll upgrade your free coin to a LE Black Nickel coin (only 25 made) if you like. 57chevy... you're early Quote Link to comment
