+Eartha Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 This happens a lot, a while back there were threads about how to package coins so this wouldn't happen. It is now part of the pinned information thread at the top of these forums. People added more helpful information, like don't let the tape touch the coin, it can ruin the finish, and more. It's very useful. Sorry about your lost coin, I suggest you call the post off where it originated, and see if anyone found it. This is what your mail goes through at the post office, so package carefully!

+luckycharmer Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I had it happen to a coin I was suppose to receive. I talked to my mail carrier and about 2 weeks later he knocked on my door with the coin. Someone found it at the bottom of a delivery bin and had it taped to the employees bulletin board.

Tooeygeotrashed Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hooray - my Map@Syst coin arrived this morning, it must be the second one as it was post marked Nov 18th, I think quite a few got chewed up in the mail system Having waited for a long time for this to arrive I emailed Amy who confirmed that one had been sent out some time ago, which never arrived, thankfully she still had one to send me. Now we have lots of snow and more snow forecast, but I know a place I can get to fairly easily to release it. Many thanks to the eXtension organisation for choosing to spread the word about their work through Geocoins. I hope all of their coins travel well. Quote Link to comment

+CCWelch Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Emailed Amy today, I am hoping that there is still one left. I looked at the page they link to for these coins and several are being held as collectibles. This is a research project, they need to be released. That was the agreement when you got the coin. So coin hoarders please let those coins travel as they are meant to! Quote Link to comment
+CCWelch Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 There are no more coins available! Quote Link to comment
