+boiler-todd Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 The world is set to end on Friday, 12/21/2012. Is anyone planning on an event for that Friday night? Anyone making a special coin for the occasion. I might buy one on 12/22. Just want to make sure we are still around before I waste my money by not being able to enjoy the coin if the world ends.

The Stoned Wookie Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Sounds like a good idea for an event and coin. That could be a good multi event. Not sure though since the 12-12-12 event will be 9 days prior and it will have a coin. Maybe could do a 12/12/12 on one side and 12/21/12 on the other. Or could maybe do a split coin with one or two tracking numbers. Both events would have three twos and three ones. Quote
+Droo Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Get it early so you can have it in your pocket when the stuff hits the fan. Who knows, it might ward off the evil spirits. Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 The only problem I see with a 12/21/12 coin is I KNOW there will be a 12/12/12 multi event coin and the two dates/projects would be awfully close together. Perhaps if the 12/12/12 coin is end of the world or Mayan calendar themed it could fit both bills?? CF30 Quote

+drneal Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 most likely 2 events, so I would assume 2 coins or 1 event for each side of the coin...personally, i would like to see 2 different coins...if nothing else, at least a generic coin for the 12-21-12 celebration(?)event ILYK Quote
+manu luq Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Well, also ...the 12-12-12 will be the last multi-event, because 13-13-13 is not possible, so... how about a double coin for the 12-12-12 and 12-21-12, i.e. a coin with the two dates. In that way, will be possible to do the same order for the two events, if you like to do the two events. Quote
+DresselDragons Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 There have been MANY dates that are supposed to mark the the end of the world. I don't really see the significance of this one more than any of the others (except that it is probably a good excuse for an event, esp. since it is on a Friday - a little too close to Christmas for my taste, though). I am more interested in the 12/12/12 (esp since we have hosted one of those events since 8/8/8), and would be very disappointed to see 12/12/12 merged with 12/21/12 on one coin. None of the other event coins (8/8/8, 9/9/9, 10/10/10, 11/11/11) shared a design with another event on a different day. I see the 12/12/12 event as a culmination of a series of events that the end of the world date/event has nothing to do with, except that they share the same digits. I might be in the minority, but that is my opinion. Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Well, also ...the 12-12-12 will be the last multi-event, because 13-13-13 is not possible, so... how about a double coin for the 12-12-12 and 12-21-12, i.e. a coin with the two dates. In that way, will be possible to do the same order for the two events, if you like to do the two events. Ooh, ooh, ooh! How 'bout the 12/12/12 design on one side of the coin and the 12/21/12 design on the other!!! CF30 Quote
+ECplus3 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 There is no way I could do both events, so I would much prefer to have the 12-12-12 event have its own coin with no mention of the 12-21-12 date. Quote
+NOSNOW Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I would agree that 12-12-12 and 12-21-12 should not be mixed on the same coin. They are separate events*. If they were mix then and on 12-22-12 the 12-12-12 coin will just look silly. Beside does the world really have too many geocoin. * = maybe the same geocaching Event, but in life they are separate events. Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 12/21/12 is not something that will happen in Europe and many other parts of the world, as for us it will be 21/12/12 So for a really notable palindromic date 21/11/12 will be worth noting, for those of us who write the date correctly Quote

+LionsLair Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I think both should be done and let folks decide which event and coin they wish to participate in... If I recall correctly (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but the 11-11-11 multi event (coin) project had 53 different versions which IMHO is total overkill... splitting them would create smaller groups for each project and may be better received by anyone wishing to participate... If given an choice, I'd choose to do a 12-21-12 "end of the world" coin over the 12-12-12 project... a friday night event is always better attended than a wednesday night event... Quote
