+Jackalgirl Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'm happy to announce the 2011 Year of the Rabbit Geocoin! They're up and available for reservation at CacheAddict.com. Reservations will close on January 13th and the coins should be shipping on or about February 14th, just after the start of the new Year of the Rabbit. Fashioned after classical Chinese & Japanese coins, the geocoin features five rabbits leaping over five geocaching "Gs". Five lucky coins in the background ride over a classical Chinese cloud pattern. On the reverse, the Chinese character for "luck" is doubled. As tradition is to hang a banner with the character upside-down on one's door at the New Year, this coin has one of the characters upside-down -- you'll always have the lucky upside-down character with this coin (just don't hold it sideways! : ) ). Enjoy, and Good Luck on your caching hunts! Quote Link to comment

+NOSNOW Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Very nice, I made my reservations. Quote Link to comment
+AtwellFamily Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Reservations close in 2 days! Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Reserved mine. Wish i could get all 3 but my wife is already going to kill me over the coins i've gotten this month. Quote Link to comment
+manu luq Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Very nice!, reserved the three, thanks. Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Well Chinnese New Year starts in a few hours here in the US. Can't wait for these to ship. Will there be extra that we can buy? I reserved one but the funding has come available that i can afford the other 2 colors as well. I want the full set. Just figured it was time to give this thread a bump. Quote Link to comment
+AtwellFamily Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 There will be a few extra of each version up for sale. These are expected around Feb 18. Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Well its the evening of the 18th. Being the impatient person i am, i figured it was pass time for another bump on this thread. I need me some luck year of the rabbit coins. Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Received an email today with a Paypal money request from The Atwell Group, LLC. The invoice claims its for this coin. This is the first time i've reserved a coin so i'm just wanting to confirm everything is correct before i approve the payment. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+The Moop Along Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Seeing as how Cache Addict is owned by Mike Atwell, I would bet that you're on the right track . . . TMA Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I placed a reservation, but did not hear back from Cache Addict. A follow-up email didn't get any response either. Yes, I did check my spam folder (unless it was blocked by my stupid ISP...) Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Cache addict isn't the one that sent the email. Paypal sent the email notifying me that there was a payment request. Check your paypal account. You may have the pay request sitting there waiting and paypal just never sent you an email notifying you of the request. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks for the heads-up. Checked my Paypal account, but did not see the payment request. I do see 2 payment requests from 2010 for other coins I reserved (which I paid and received). No big deal. I'll just wait to see if there are any leftovers if my reservation is lost.

+manu luq Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'm waiting for my invoice for the three rabbits that I've reserved. Anyone know anything? Quote Link to comment
+AtwellFamily Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Cache Addict is a division of the The Atwell Group and the invoice is for this coin and maybe the Voyage of Exploration - Sea also. PayPal have changed their invoicing tool and I was unable to send a true invoice in bulk to everyone. Mike Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks for looking into my pre-order. Appreciate it. Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Got my coin in on Wednesday. Looks great and i just put in an order for a silver and blue version for my wife. Edited March 5, 2011 by mpilchfamily Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I received my order a couple of days back. Looks fantastic, glad I ordered all 3 finishes! Thanks for sorting out the confusion. Quote Link to comment
