+Sepp & Berta Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) Hello, this is my latest coin: the german "Bier Geocoin". I guess, you all know, what "Bier" means ;-) This coin is one of a few coins, which are in german language. The text on the frontside is a rhyme and it says: "Cache gefunden, Füße stinken, höchste Zeit, ein Bier zu trinken!" Okay, let's try me to translate that (which is not so easy, and - please don't take this seriously): "Cache found, feet smell, now it’s high time to drink a beer!“ Now the backside, it means: „Minted in accord with the guidelines of Groundspeak“ (This is an allusion to the official slogan of all german brewer: „Brewed in accord with the German purity law“ The specifications: Diameter: 44mm Weight: 42g Thickness: 3mm transparent colors Metals: antique-silver (250pcs), antique-gold (125pcs), antique-copper (125pcs) Trackable at geocaching.com Prefix: SB Amount: 500pcs Price: 8,-€ / ~USD11.50 Icon I hope you like my coin. It can be preordered now. Please find all information and as well the orderpage at <indirect link removed by moderator> --> Directlink Prost! ;-) Claudia aka "Sepp & Berta" edit: corrected the link Edited December 6, 2007 by Eartha Quote
+mrjiffy Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I love this coin and German Beer! I have been to Munchen (Munich) three times for Oktoberfest over the years and have had the chance to sample many of the fine beers your country has to offer. My favorite was Augusteiner(not sure if I spelled it correctly). Best Regards, Jason aka MRJIFFY Quote
+The Moop Along Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Are you taking trades for these? I'd love one of each metal. They are very well done. Quote
YemonYime Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 99 coins of bier in the store, 99 coins of bier... Excellent coin! Any pictures of the gold and copper available? Thanks! Yime Quote
+Sepp & Berta Posted October 31, 2007 Author Posted October 31, 2007 99 coins of bier in the store, 99 coins of bier... Excellent coin! Any pictures of the gold and copper available? Thanks! Yime Thank you! :-) No, not yet. This is only the sample coin, i've got. I think (and hope), gold and copper will look as good as the silver one. Copper is a little bit special for this coin, because the german brewer traditionally use copper-pots for brewing beer. It's a typically metal in relation to beer brewer. :-) Greetings from Bavaria, Claudia Quote
+BBWolf+3Pigs Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 "Eins, zwei, drei, g'suffa!" I'll be ordering at least 2! Quote
+Bolingbrook Joe Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 The link in the OP did not work. It looks like part was omitted. Here's one that does get to the English version of the page. http://www.geocache-info.de/pages/en.php Quote
+DrJeepStr Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Very Kewl design!!! Just ordered several (for me and my father! Dad is just getting into geocaching AND he is from Germany AND he has worked at a Midwestern brewery for decades!! Nearly has a direct pipeline from the plant to his house in Wisconsin <gg>)!! How perfect a gift for him are these GC's!?! Thanks soooo much for another great geocoin! DrJeepStr Quote
+dflye Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I was very hoppy when I saw this coin, so I had to order some! Quote
+Droo Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Comes to about $15 a coin with shipping which is a bit pricey but I just had to start a beer coin page in one of my albums. Quote
+Droo Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 when are these expected to ship? Mid november Quote
+dflye Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Comes to about $15 a coin with shipping which is a bit pricey but I just had to start a beer coin page in one of my albums. Shipping cost per coin isn't so bad if you end up ordering 10 coins at once! Quote
+izzyvet Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 This is a very nice coin, I'm German and I love Bier so this would be perfect! So tempting, just started geocaching, found my first coin, might be hooked on coins now!! Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 As I am currently in Germany, (found three caches here today) I just HAD to order some of these Quote
+izzyvet Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 OK, broke down just now and ordered two. Figured if I would spend 50 bucks for the GABF, I might as well buy a bier coin!! Quote
+Sepp & Berta Posted November 2, 2007 Author Posted November 2, 2007 It seems like a lot people like bavarian beer, because the coin is nearly sold out We only have about 20-30 pieces (of each metal) left. Thanks to all who preordered Prost! Sepp & Berta Quote
+kyk96 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Ya just gotta love ANYTHING relating to German beer!!!! WE are all over this one! Already placed my pre-order! THANKS!!!! Quote
+BBWolf+3Pigs Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Any more details on when the coin will be available? Quote
+Sunrayers Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Wow-How did I miss this one?? Order Placed Quote
