At this point, I’m sure most of you have heard about my adventure on creating the triple dragon geocoins. Problems after problems, and months after months of work spent and wasted. Finally, I got in touch with another coin manufacturer and started from scratch. So far, the results have been fruitful. I am happy to say that the Triple Dragon Geocoins sampling is now in process and I should be able to see some nice coins in a couple of weeks! Finally! Very exciting stuff!

 

I have always revised the artwork for both front and back of the coin. Here are the images:

All right... I have received the samples from the mint. They are still not up to par.

 

Due to the holiday, I will be negotiating with the mint on Thursday.... Quite frankly I don't know how many more rounds of changes it will take.... but this is quite frustrating....

 

Thanks again for everyone's patience and I will keep you updated on any positive changes.

PS happy chinese new year everyone!

OK. As of today..... mass production for the triple dragon geocoins have begun!!!! WOOHOO!!!! :anitongue::anibad:

 

I should have pictures of the new coins by the end of next week! :D

 

One revision: The background will not be sandblasted as I hope it would. The coin mint cannot guarantee a smooth finishing. So I have decided not to sandblast the background afterall.

 

Estimate shipping date: April 16

 

Presales should start in the next couple of weeks. For those who have reserved the triple dragon coins would be able to make purchase before the general public.

 

If you have not made your reservations, you can reserve them here

 

Thanks again for you patience!!

My Triple Dragon Geocoins arrived this afternoon and I am really pleased; they look fantastic! :(

I think the Antique Silver is my personal favorite, in fact I've already activated it. :(

Awesome job Derek!

 

heya Tom,

 

Discovered your coin already! :)

 

As I said, I'm very glad they got to you so fast... I dropped these coins at the post office in the middle of Sunday night... I guess dropping them off at a postal distribution helps the process :mad:

 

Whew... I spent 30min at the PO today sending the international packages out.... that was painful.... and I spoke with 2 postal workers about the rate hike and how they would categorize the #000 mailers... and both of them do it differently.... one of them said it would large envelop and the other one said it would be considered a package.... they told me that they would "learn as they go"... which really don't give jme much confirence... :mad:

 

well, I guess we'll see.... anyways... all the inital sales packages have gone out!!!!!! YAY!

Well, I have always been a big dragon fan, hence the dragon design. As fas as the asian landscape background on both the double and triple dragon geocoin.... Being born in Hong Kong, I remember seeing a lot of chinese watercolor paintings with those awesome mountains.... and rivers... and temples and hosuees and trees and leaves.... and I wanted to put them on the back of the coin to give the dragon coins a n Asian theme
