I'd definitely like a set of these No immediate plans for another color. I was / am considering a gold one Made in the USA but have not made a final decision yet. I don't trade the Smokey and Woodsy coins because of the licensing agreement with the US Forest Service. It's not that I'm prohibited from doing so but I would need to "purchase" them from myself first so the USFS gets its commission. That would be an accounting nightmare. Quote Link to comment
+JoenGPS Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 We would be in for Gold! Copper and Bronze already ordered! Quote Link to comment
+Theseus Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Cool coin. Just in case anyone was wondering (as I was): Smokey Bear's message "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires" was created in 1944 by the Ad Council. In a recent study, 95% of those surveyed could finish the sentence when given the first words. In April 2001, Smokey's message was updated to "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires." from Wikipedia Quote Link to comment

+Zork V Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I just seem to be geting the Generic Icon. Will it be changed? Quote Link to comment
toponym Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 I just seem to be geting the Generic Icon. Will it be changed? The correct icon appears on coincodes.com. I will inquire but you might want to as well. Did you already place one in a cache? What is the cache name and ID number? I will forward it to them. Toponym Quote Link to comment
+Zork V Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Just got my coin yesterday, so not in a cache. But if you would like to see the Geocoin as a GIF with Music and Words, check out TB1ZGMP. I shall check with coincodes too. Quote Link to comment
+Eric K Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Just to clarify the icon on coincodes.com arent' tied in with the icon showing up on Groundspeak. If the icon for an activated coin doesn't show up you would need to contact Groundspeak directly. Thanks Quote Link to comment
