avroair Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have been asked quite frequently about the 080808 multi event coins. Well, here is a heads up peek look at them, with the artwork still in progress. There will be 10 or so 080808 events sharing the same coin design with various color and metal changes. Minted: 100 of each flavor Size: 1.75" Trackable: Yes, with icon, tracking number will be around the rim Available at each event location: Pittsburgh, New York, Atlanta, Idaho, Honolulu, Dallas, San Francisco Bay Area, Germany, Italy, Portugal and maybe a couple more locations. And a larger image: Front: Crazy 8's with infinity signs around the outside Back: Circular Infinity symbol Quote Link to comment

+DresselDragons Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Gonna take a guess here that the Pittsburgh event coin is...let's see...Black & Gold? *rawk* Now, now...don't steel (get it?) my thunder. Actually, the Pgh version is not posted yet...and amazingly enough, my take on a black and gold coin is a little different than the one posted (amazing because I had not seen anyone else's artwork before now). Still sorting out our location...but hope to have the final arrangements soon. Quote Link to comment
+kdv Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) There will be two events in Italy: one in Tuscany and one in South Tirol. Since exact venues have not been decided yet, the event pages are not online yet. Anyone interested in being put on the waiting list for the Italian event coins (the ones that will still be available after the event itself), drop me a line.

+LadeBear68 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Will Arizona have their own event geocoin? I will be arriving on the 8th and hope to attend the event. Quote Link to comment
+~tasia~ Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Germany pulled out. Anyone want to run an event with a German coin? Maybe the event hosts could each get a certain amount of the coins (if they are already in the minting process) to sell at our events. I know I can't do another hundred, but I could handle 10 or so extra. Quote Link to comment
+~tasia~ Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 As a host of one of the events, I would like to try to get one of each of the coins from the other hosts, via trade or purchase. Quote Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 As a host of one of the events, I would like to try to get one of each of the coins from the other hosts, via trade or purchase. This is automatic. The hosts of each location receive one of each coin and in turn automatically send one of each coin to the other location hosts. Your order should be shipped that way.

+islander1988 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Very cool! I've been planning an event for 8/8/8 as well. Given I always go for 88 numbers on account of my caching name, I figured I had to do something on an all 8s day. I had originally planned to do a geocoin event, but between being slow getting the artwork together for the coin and having trouble finding a place to hold it, I decided to go with a different idea. Had I known there was a group event coin being made, I might have tried to get some for mine. Oh well. Might have to try and trade for one or two of these. Quote Link to comment
southpawaz Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Will Arizona have their own event geocoin? I will be arriving on the 8th and hope to attend the event. I don't believe so, I don't think the Phoenix area event was planned until well after the coins were in progress. I hope you can make it, I'll look forward to seeing you there. Quote Link to comment
