+avroair Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) People have asked what this coin is, so here's a look at it. The front portrays a googol, the largest number known, 10 to the 100th power (or 10 with 100 zeroes after it!)... the back depicts The Sand Reveler, a work by Archimedes where he tried to estimate the number of grains of sand in the universe. These coins will either be available in limited quantities at www.geoswag.com or directly at GW7. Googol coins! Edited April 5, 2009 by avroair Quote
+drneal Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 got me with the google...not on geoswag yet...I'll be watching for them though! ILYK Quote
+Chickahominy Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Me too. I'll be looking for this one. Beautiful coin.. and just perfect my daughter's collection. Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Oh cool! I'm hoping to see you at GW7 anyway. Now I have an additional reason. Or a couple additional reasons. Or several additional reasons... Anyhoo, see ya there! CF30 Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Good now I can see the photos without downloading them, lol. Nice coin. Quote
+sweetlife Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Avroair, cool coin dude. Didnt attend MOGA but hope to be able to get one in a trade/purchase. Quote
+Six Little Spookies Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Very nice. When will they be up on Geoswag and how much will they go for? Will the GW7 coin be a unique combo of colors and metals? Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Ohhhh, nice! I wish I were back 'Stateside -- but will keep an eye open on geoswag. These are very nice and I'm a sucker for math/astronomical coins. : ) Quote
+avroair Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 Googol coins! Available: HERE There are a limited number of them (far less than a googolplex worth!). Quote

+Howlingmoon Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I hope I can get one before they sell out. I'm broke 'til the 30th. Quote
+avroair Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 I hope I can get one before they sell out. I'm broke 'til the 30th. You should be fine, if they are sold out by then, shoot me an email. Quote
+Ashallond Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 This math teacher would love this...but since I just started, I haven't really approached the topic of coin purchases to the wife yet...so looks like I'll miss out on this pretty coin. Neat idea btw. Quote
