Translucent Green Enamel/ Orange Enamle and foggy silver plating or Translucent Green Enamel/ White Enamle and copper or antique copper plating Colors of the Irish flag of course.

+sunsetmeadowlark Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Dang it! You remember that conversation we had a couple of days ago about you getting most of my geocoin budget? Looks like now you'll be getting even more of it! Very nice, can't wait to see the finished coin! Quote Link to comment
+Turlutortue Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Great coin design. Can't wait to have some in my collection. Quote Link to comment

+LustyPirateQueen Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 WOW what a beauty. As I'm Irish I would definately love to buy one of these. Do you usually have any left after the event? Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) WOW what a beauty. As I'm Irish I would definately love to buy one of these. Do you usually have any left after the event? The event versions have sold out most of the time, but www.geoswag.com will have other versions, Celtic symbology has great meaning and the coins represents friendship and harmony with one's surroundings, both virtues have a great deal in common with geocaching. For some geocaching is being part of a community and a social activity. As we go caching we have a greater awareness of leaving no trace. There will be a limited number of each coin available in March. Light blue gems - The soul represents the joy of simple things. Geocaching gives us a thrill of the hunt and a satisfaction of a find. Purple gems - The body represents strength and fortitude. Geocaching takes strength and endurance to find the out of the way caches. Green gems - Life represents the natural outdoors. Geocaching takes us to extraordinary scenic spots and helps us get closer to nature. Dark blue gems - Spirit represents to desire and will to continue. Geocaching requires determination to continue after a DNF. Orange gems - The mind represents intellect and wisdom. Geocaching requires wisdom to solve puzzles. Red gems - The heart represents love and friendship. Geocaching can be a social occasion. Edited February 12, 2010 by avroair Quote Link to comment

Well, the mint has shipped them, so I believe they will be available around mid-March, just before St Patty's day. This was a fun design, to implement. Quote Link to comment

Is there somewhere we can buy/order these or are they only for an event. I LOVE them. I've seen some on eBay but don't see a link in this thread to order/buy. Looks like the yellow/orange version is the event version, and all the others will be on geoswag.com soon. Don't see em yet, but up above Mark said March, so in the next couple of weeks would be a good bet. Quote Link to comment
