FYI:

 

5.50 GBP = 11.0809 USD

 

I must admit the exchange rate is not as favourable for our US customers as what we would have liked! :D

 

We wanted to make the coin price as attractive as possible for all our valued and new customers alike, and would have preferred to keep our price at £5.00 (Blackpool Tower coin price). Unfortunately, the downside to securing the deal with the Liverpool Capital of Culture people is that we are contracted to pay them a sizeable royalty fee for the use of their official logo.

 

We have also tried to minimise the shipping costs as much as possible. £2.40 for shipping to the US we feel is a good price given that the total cost of shipping + paypal charges is in excess of this.......consequently, the loss is absorbed in the coin cost.

 

We would like to minimise costs to the US, and would welcome any suggestions as to how we can do this?

 

In view of this, Brian and I have agreed to keep the shipping cost to £2.40 to the US no matter how many Coins are ordered. If you could combine an order, this could minimise the cost perhaps?

 

Please let us know any ideas you may have.............our only wish is to add to our list of happy customers! :D

 

kind regards,

 

John

Capital of Culture News

Liverpool City Council established the Liverpool Culture Company in 2000 to co-ordinate its bid for European Capital of Culture 2008.

 

In June 2003 the government announced that Liverpool had beaten off eleven other contenders for the prestigious title.

 

Independent consultants estimate the title will attract £2bn of investment, 14,000 new jobs and an extra 1.7 million visitors. In addition, an extra £220 million will be spent by tourists, supporting 3,000 jobs.

 

Although the actual Capital of Culture year is 2008, each year up until 2010 is based around a particular theme, with hundreds of events taking place in the city to celebrate that particular aspect of cultural life in Liverpool.

 

2003 - The Year of Learning

2004 - The Year of Faith in One City

2005 - The Year of the Sea

2006 - Liverpool Performs incorporating Arts and Sport

2007 - Liverpool's 800th birthday

2008 - European Capital of Culture

2009 - Year of the Environment

2010 - Year of Innovation
