+ECplus3 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Who wouldn't expect great things from the world's second largest land mass? This is a nation with enough prosperity, natural beauty and hockey talent to serve a population a hundred times its size. But Canada is more than elbow room, real beer, respected banks, Mounties on horseback, the good view of Niagara Falls and poutine. This country could really brag about all the stuff that truly sets it apart! But we won't. Instead, I thought I would make a coin. Strong and Free Geocoin: 45mm (1.75") x 3.5mm 2D with recessed layers Translucent enamels Two-tone metal finishes Trackable at geocaching.com with a custom icon Samples are currently underway...

+ECplus3 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 very fun. but where's the mountie. i want to see a mountie! beautiful design as usual. :-) Sorry, no mounties. The RCMP are pretty serious about their brand. In fact, back in the late '90s they handed over licensing to the Walt Disney Corporation. Messing with the RCMP is one thing, but nobody messes with Disney when it comes to licensing! Quote Link to comment

Dofferson_Katch Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Gief ! How many editions will there be so i can trash some coins to make room in my binders :-) Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Here is the first look at a sample. This edition is satin silver with smoky effect on the recessed areas. It will not be available for sale as this is an edition I created for dropping in caches during my travels this summer. The rest of the samples will be here next week. Quote Link to comment

Any chance your travels will take you to Florida, we can name a lot of caches down here you could drop some in. Quote Link to comment
