+Sparticus06 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I was just wondering, about when will the 2009 Compass Rose coins be coming out? I want to get them as they come out. The 2006, 2007, & 2008 I either got from the e place, here, and a trade. Didn't know if there was a certain time that they came out. I will be keeping my eye out for it. Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) I am wondering the same thing And have you seen the page for it on the Compass Rose site? It's all in some foreign language - Latin, perhaps? I cannot figure it out & translation sites are not much help. This is what it says: Fere vel appellatio populus vel huic acsi ex, vel te vulputate. Adsum rusticus oppeto, demoveo fatua neque valde turpis scisco feugiat facilisi iusto autem. Neo pala autem at lobortis nobis incassum tincidunt aliquip ad vel hendrerit feugait ad dolor. Humo iustum nostrud ut iusto virtus in. Genitus humo duis et nisl quibus praesent epulae pagus, at, haero te. Meus te saluto laoreet at, iaceo, ut jugis wisi capio. Lucidus lenis, scisco usitas consequat consequat duis nostrud tum vero gemino accumsan. Iustum, ullamcorper iriure hendrerit, os suscipere, meus hendrerit aliquip augue wisi paulatim. Distineo duis enim consequat ille, nobis multo nisl consequat hendrerit ut eum. Valetudo duis vereor mara hendrerit ex defui odio ibidem iustum patria loquor, nonummy. Any ideas what it translates to say? CF30 Edited January 16, 2009 by Crowesfeat30 Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'm betting that this is "lorem ipsum" text -- that is, it's passage from a Latin text, such as from Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, used as a placeholder for setting text. That's just my guess, tho. Quote Link to comment

+Sunrayers Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I ran it thru an online translator and Latin translates into: Almost or appellatio populace or in this even if out of , or you vulputate. To assist rustic oppeto , to take away foolish worthless intensely unseemly investigate feugiat easy due forms but. To spin spade but but lobortis us to no purpose tincidunt some to or hendrerit feugait to pain. Cover with earth what is right our when due forms valor upon. Sired cover with earth duis and nisl by which with a ready a banquet district , but , to be brought to a standstill you. My you to wish well laoreet but , to lie , when continual wisi catch. Shining smooth , investigate customary according to reason according to reason duis our at that time in truth to double to add to a heap. What is right ullamcorper iriure hendrerit , oris to undergo , my hendrerit some augue wisi gradually. Separate duis in fact according to reason he , us by much nisl according to reason hendrerit when he. Health duis to respect marl hendrerit out of to fail to hate in the same place what is right fatherland to say , ninth. Maybe I'd better try it again! Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Gosh my high school latin isn't good enough to understand anything except that it sounds like latin. Try signing up for the Coins and Pins newsletter for info. Quote Link to comment
+Whitby Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The text is latin, that's for sure. But the times I may have translated that are way past. What I found is that this text is indeed used as a placeholder. Quote Link to comment
+nashuan Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I agree that it looks like a placeholder. Probably just starting to work on the site for the 2009 beauties. Quote Link to comment
YemonYime Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Congratulations! You've inadvertently uncovered a secret message within the cryptic latin text! I ran it thru an online translator and Latin translates into: *snip* Shining smooth ... to add to a heap. mKay, so it's not really a secret message. But it's darn ironic (and appropriate for geocoin collectors), isn't it? PS: It was originally supposed to be "Drink Your Ovaltine", but that's already been done. Quote Link to comment
+The Moop Along Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I have it on good authority that the High Chancellor of Yimerica is a huge Compass Rose fan. I bet he's eagerly awaiting the 2009 release Quote Link to comment
+geocachingdragon Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm pretty sure he might have designed it Quote Link to comment
+kmmlynch Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I got an email today that they are taking pre-sales at C&P. Karen Quote Link to comment
+teamhaynes Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) I got an email today that they are taking pre-sales at C&P. Karen Its the 5 year anniversary edition. They are putting out the 09 later in the year. Below is from the presale page. BTW if anybody orders sets I would trade a arctic neptunes compass for a black nickel compass rose(I got in a presale on the NC) 2009 is the fifth year of the official Compass Rose Geocoin™. This coin celebrates the anniversary by incorporating design aspects of all five years into one coin. It also adds one more special feature of an actual working magnetic compass. This is the first geocoin to have a working compass. Each coin has been given a special theme for navigation achievements world wide. We also added a black nickel Compass Rose Geocoin™ representing Black Sea navigation. This is the first year we have designed a Compass Rose Geocoin that was not based on an actual compass rose used in navigation. Instead, the front side has a blend of designs for all five years of the previous Compass Rose Geocoins. Since this coin is introduced before the official 2009 Compass Rose Geocoin™, the fifth year design aspect is only slightly revealed. The backside shows the perils encountered when navigating the seas without good navigation tools such as the compass. From the belief of sea monsters and sirens, to storms and running aground or sinking, open water sailing was the most dangerous occupation of the time.

JohnMac56 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I got an email today that they are taking pre-sales at C&P. Karen I got the same email, however the ones that are listed in the email are not the 'Official' 2009 Compass Rose coins. They are the 5th Anniversary Compass Rose Geocoin's. The 'Official' 2009 Compass Rose coins are not out yet, but I am hoping they will be out soon as well as everyone else here... Quote Link to comment
+kmmlynch Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Sorry about that, I just reread it and realized my mistake, but you two beat me to the correction. The anniversary seems cool with a working compass. Thanks for correcting my mistake. Karen Quote Link to comment
+Sparticus06 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 I would love to have the whole set, but alas, not gonna be able to get em. Think I will wait for the official 2009 Compass Rose. Quote Link to comment
+teamhaynes Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I would love to have the whole set, but alas, not gonna be able to get em. Think I will wait for the official 2009 Compass Rose. I would love it as well, but I am so out of money right now.... I think I can afford one of them and will probably go for the antarctic version.... Quote Link to comment
