+nessie3d & Ynka Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 My husband gave me our first geocoin as a birthdaygift. But he didn't just give me 1, no, he made 6 versions!!! The design is by his own sister, she designed the little elf especially for me. The name of the coin is 'Daoine Síth' (pronounced as deena shee). In Irish mythology, the aos sí, older form aes sídhe are a supernatural race comparable to the fairies or elves. They are said to live underground in the fairy mounds, across the western sea, or in an invisible world that coexists with the world of humans. This world is described in "The Book of Invasions" (recorded in the Book of Leinster) as a parallel universe in which the aos sí walk amongst the living. In the Irish language, aos sí means "people of the mounds" (the mounds are known in Irish as "the sídhe". In Irish literature the people of the mounds are also referred to as the daoine sídhe ("deena shee", and in Scottish Gaelic literature as the daoine sìth or daoine sìdh. They are said to be the ancestors, spirits of nature, or goddesses and gods. The 6 versions are: Gold Silver Black Yellow Blue Lilac Collection front Collection back Yellow Blue Silver Black back Gold Lilac All versions are limited to 50 coins, no remint. Has its own icon. Interested in a Belgian coin? Just send me a PM Quote

Congratulation on such a beautiful surprise for your birthday. You have a awesome husband for sure. Thank you all :) Due to my husband I got the geocachingvirus and since 2 years we discovered the pleasure of finding geocoins, I started to collect them 1,5 years ago. A personal geocoin just adds more value to my collection! And yes, he's the best!!! Sorry girls, he's mine Quote
+ECplus3 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I saw pictures of these awhile ago on the Dutch forums. They made me smile then and they still make me smile now. I'm going to have to get one for my daughter's birthday next month. Quote
+Coldgears Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 It might be better if you didn't put your name on it, afterall people are buying it for themselves. Quote
+Boom!pa Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Errrr....a personal geocoin has your name on it....that's kinda the point! Great job on the coin! Quote
+LewisClan77 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 It might be better if you didn't put your name on it, afterall people are buying it for themselves. Then YOU don't have to buy one. Personally, I like coins with a personal touch to them. Quote
+TeamEccs21 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 A round truly personal Geocoin...one of our favorites. Any interest in trading for our personal coin? Quote
+TeamEccs21 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 It might be better if you didn't put your name on it, afterall people are buying it for themselves. Our name is on our Personal coin...that's what makes it personal Quote
+GATOULIS Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Oh!!!! it is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub: Quote
+sheltiedogshowlover Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Very cute! As for the comment about your name on it...Personal Geocoins are supposed to be personal.... that's the whole point..lol. I have a personal trackable coin that I made only 2 of. 1 I'm keeping and 1 is in the math trade. It's got my kennel name on it, not my geocaching name but still very personal... Quote

+keewee Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 WOW - they are so adorable!!! You are very, very lucky!!! Quote
+fuzziebear3 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Wow, very cute. Are you selling these, or just trading them? I don't have a personal to trade, but have a few others if you are interested in any of them. Quote
+mamoreb Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Yes, these are adorable! You're a lucky woman! I hope I'll be able to trade for one or two of these. I got an e-mail from nessie3d & Ynka, saying that it is also possible to buy the coins - you should contact them for info. Quote
+nessie3d & Ynka Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 Yes they are up for sale, trading is also an option, depends on the coins you have for trade. Thank you for all the mails and pms, I'll answer you all tonight. For the Americans and Canadians amongst you, please remind the time difference Quote
+Nikon-ing Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 I LOVE this!! Hoping to acquire at least one somehow. Quote
+Eartha Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Where on the geocoin are the words "trackable on geocaching.com" and the tracking number? Quote
+Coldgears Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Where on the geocoin are the words "trackable on geocaching.com" and the tracking number? Probably around the edges. I have two geocoins like that. They aren't lieing about it being trackable either. Quote

I suspect the point is that Eartha is seeking confirmation from the thread starter that the geocoin is indeed trackable as it's not been stated in the thread up until this point. Quote
Pup Patrol Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I suspect the point is that Eartha is seeking confirmation from the thread starter that the geocoin is indeed trackable as it's not been stated in the thread up until this point. And Coldgears provided a link to the page of one of the coins, where it's been "discovered" by a few people, in his reply. The underlined text "being trackable" is the link to the coin's page: Where on the geocoin are the words "trackable on geocaching.com" and the tracking number? Probably around the edges. I have two geocoins like that. They aren't lieing about it being trackable either. Quote

Yes, it was a moderator question. The icon was mentioned, but I do not see the text that must be on the geocoin, and there no photos of the rim. It's my job to ask. Quote
+nessie3d & Ynka Posted June 12, 2011 Author Posted June 12, 2011 Where on the geocoin are the words "trackable on geocaching.com" and the tracking number? Trackable on geocaching.com is indeed on the edge. The number is in the moonshaped figure beneath the elf. Quote
+nessie3d & Ynka Posted June 12, 2011 Author Posted June 12, 2011 Correct and there you can also see the icon. I have all 6 versions activated. I also forgot to mention that we've had the coins produced by Landsharkz, they've done a great job! My husband, sister in law and Landsharkz decided on the colours. Quote
+manu luq Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I've just received the coins, and they are beautiful in hands!, ...the back also looks very fine Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Price(s) please? Include shipping to USA. CF30 Quote
+Nikon-ing Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I LOVE this!! Hoping to acquire at least one somehow. My most absolutely amazing friend gave me one of these today! I LOVE it! Thank you Aimee Quote
+Nikon-ing Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Where do we get the activation codes? Never mind...found it at Landsharkz I do love this adorable little coin. Edited June 22, 2011 by Nikon-ing Quote
+ShaunEM Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 My wife got hers the other day (after the postal strike). She loves it! Thanks! Shaun Quote
