+islander1988 Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 My event got listed today. I didn't get a geocoin made for it, but a bunch will be released. I also got the GC# I wanted. GC1E888 Quote
+Dale n Barb Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Germany pulled out. Anyone want to run an event with a German coin? I have secured this coin for Florida. Florida is hosting 3 events, one in Northwest FL, one on the Space Coast and one about 80 south of the Space Coast. I can't wait to get my full set as well as all the FL ones. Quote

It is an 8/8/8 specific event, but it is one I planned before I found out (from this thread) that others were doing ones too. So, it didn't start out as part of any group, but if there's a bookmark list for 8/8/8 events it could be included. Quote

+Vanelle Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 My family in colorado have just moved into their EIGHT sided home, which they worked to build all last year. They are having their housewarming party on (you guessed it) 080808. How could I get some of these coins to give them as a gift? Do you have to attend an event? Thanks! Quote
+Dale n Barb Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 We got the Florida coins today and they look great as well. We also got the full set of 12 which is really cool. Quote

I had to remember to set one of my AL ones aside to make the whole set of 13. I'm glad I looked through the mailer, because I thought the full (including mine) set was in there. They all turned out great! Quote

I guess we were all in the same boat. I kept thinking ok, they must have made a special print of the Florida coin that is included. Then I finally figured out I had to add mine to the collection. I wish there was an easy way to identify each one though...maybe a tag in each coin saying which it was would have been a good idea. Oh well, glad to have gotten in on this they look really great.

I'm going to print up something to put in the flip saying what state/country the event is from. When compared to the picture (that avroair posted of the actual coins and captioned), it's easier to identify where they are from. Quote
+TeamEccs21 Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I sure do like those Texas coins!! Hint Hint Quote

+Dale n Barb Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Yeah, I think I will do the same so I can keep track of which one belongs to what area. That is a good idea. Quote
+Marky Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 All the versions look awesome. I should put them in a page/binder and bring them to the event, so people can see the other ones in person (and might want to might try to trade for). Quote

+avroair Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 Got the NJ coins yesterday, they look great! Great job at picking colors! Geoswag will have their own unique coin (100 total minted), 85 available in their store on 080808, they might also be putting up extra coins that don't sell at the events. To reserve coins, contact your local event organizer. Quote
