+EyeD10T Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 The 1st Blech Nickel coin pass mission was a success. I am really looking forward to our international version. I have changed the pass a little, just based on some feedback from the 1st one. We will accept the 1st 10 people that sign up. The Blech Nickel coin pass Mission - International The way it will work is anyone that wants to participate can send me their name and address. I will put a list together to add to the coin pass. I will then put 10 new, unactivated coins in the box, along with a gift (I recommend $20 or under). I will mail the pass to the next person on the list, who will take any coins they want, Exchange what they took with a new unactivated coin, and will keep the gift that was placed in the box. They will then put a new gift in the box for the next person, along with the coins they have traded and send it to the next person. Once everyone on the list has completed their trade, then the last person on the list will return the coin pass to me and the mission will be over. We will track everything in this thread, as well as in a logbook that will start with the pass. If you see the person ahead of you receive the pass and you do not think you will be home to receive it, please notify the group so the pass can go to the next person and then will return to you once the list is completed. It is important that you send the pass out as soon as you can. I wouldn't want it to get held up for too long during the journey. I would recommend that the pass be sent within 3-4 days of receipt. I also request that due to the value of the package that each time the package is sent out, the sender get insurance and tracking information for the pass. This way we can all watch the progress, and can take appropriate action of the box gets lost along the way. The blech nickel will accompany the pass and is activated so the pass participants can discover it while they have it in hand. I hope to use it in missions in the future, so it is for discovery only and not for trade. If you would like to participate, then send me an email via my profile with your mailing address. When you receive the pass, please make sure to post photos of what you get. If you are unable to post a photo, then describe what you get for the rest of the participants...its more fun that way! I will leave the sign up open until we get 10 people on the list, or until September 1, whichever comes first.
+FluteFace Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Please sign me up. Thanks! (Email sent!) Edited August 18, 2011 by FluteFace
+EyeD10T Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 This pass is for International addresses only. I had broken the pass into Domestic first and International next. If we do not get enough people to sign up Overseas, then I will add the US addresses on a 1st come 1st served basis - rounding the pass up to 10 people. I will be doing another US address version after this version is completed. Thanks everyone for the interest.
+keewee Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Would be interested in taking part, but the only way to get tracking and "real" insurance from NZ is to send it via International Courier... and that would cost me $45 and upwards... Might hunt around some other services and see what they charge and if it is significantly cheaper then I might sign up. Edited August 18, 2011 by keewee
+TeamEccs21 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I had a ball watching the last one and waiting for my turn. Can't wait to see how this one goes. I'll do another if you don't get enough participants.
+EyeD10T Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 Maybe due to the cost we can not get the insurance and tracking...I have faith that the pass will still make it. Lets say that insurance and tracking will be optional for the international pass - I am willing to take a chance
+jpbarr Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Email sent, but as already stated Insurance and regestration might be too much. But everything I have sent to people from here has arrived safely....so far
+Team GeocacherZONE Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Email sent... this will be our first Greetings from Portugal
+manu luq Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Ok!, I also believe that everything will be fine without insurance nor tracking number ... I hope so!
+EyeD10T Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 OK - we will go with insurance and tracking are optional. We have 5 signed up so far...once we get the other 5 we can start the mission. Here is the list so far: WebXXI Funkmaster-T manu luq MoonCat & KDT jpbarr

I have everything I need, so I hope to get this out by Thursday - I will post when I ship. In the meantime, here are the coins that the pass is starting out with.
+jpbarr Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Some great coins there but I wonder what will be there by the time it gets to me

+Team kizb Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 The Mission is here and going out soon! Here is a picture of all the goodies that where in the box and the outgoing coins.

+Team kizb Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Be on the lookout for a box soon Team yanagi!
+yanagi Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I heard that the package arrived at home but unfortunately I am right now on a short business trip to Spain. I will post pictures immediately when I'm back at home next Friday. Sorry for this small delay.

+yanagi Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Sorry for the delay! When I got home I had a bad cold and had to recover first. Finally here is the pick of the goodies which were in the package: We sat with the family together and everybody was allowed to pick a swag - that was really fun The coins that were inside can be seen in the pic from kizb. I will trade three of them but don't want to post a picture to keep it as a surprise for the next one. Tomorrow I will send it out to the world again because today is a bank holiday here in Germany. Thanks for this great mission!!
+yanagi Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 The package was sent almost 2 weeks ago so it should arrive soon if it hasn't yet
+yanagi Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 As far as I undertand the last post on the Blech Nickel the package arrived last week in Portugal TB44GKF
+EyeD10T Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 I sent an email to Webxxi asking them to update the thread.
+MoonCatKDT & Peanut Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I am sorry to say this, but I think I am going to drop out of this mission. I can't guarantee the amount of time I will have when the package gets here (because at this rate that should be around christmas) with my job, setting up a nursery and in all learning how to be a mom and still doing everything else I need to do in a day. Also, i'm selling 95% of my coins so I will have nothing to exchange I will still follow this mission and enjoy what you all get from each other thank you for allowing me to be a part of it!
+Team GeocacherZONE Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Hi Everyone... we received the package and made some trade with swag and geocoins. we took 3 and placed 4 Send it to Spain. Greetings from Portugal, Nuno, Xana & Fraldinhas - Team WebXXI
+ice13-333 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Seemed to be a funny way to trade coins. Sad that i didn´t read this topic early enough to enter.
+manu luq Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 ...And yet it moves! What a surprise when the package arrives ...I will post pics!
+manu luq Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Wooow!, How quickly has traveled this package! It was fun to open it and see all those items and coins. The mill has not resisted the trip, I will fix it and keep as a memento of this funny mission, Thanks!. We traded some other items and a couple of coins (...and pathtags!), and of course a typical rooster from Portugal, which are also trackable I'll try send the package next Wednesday to Estonia! Just put pics of what I received, so the next in the mission may have its surprise. Thanks EyeD10T for this mission and to all of you Edited October 27, 2011 by manu luq
