I received a gift: 12-14-23. Unfortunately, my card arrived without its Geocoin.  I can see where it was squeezed out of the envelope. The envelope was thin, and there was no tape put on the edges of the envelope for reinforcement to keep the coin from squeezing out when it went through the machines. Thank you Dira duck for trying.  For future senders, always reinforce the edges. Envelopes go through machine that that is meant for envelopes with nothing in them but a card. The cards also have to bend around the inside of the machine in two spots, like an horseshoe bend and this is where the coins get squeezed right out of the envelopes.  These are high-speed machines pushing through thousands of letters per hour.  

Sincere apologies Barb, It's been a while since I've sent a coin and  forgot how hard the postal system is on envelopes.      I am just back from holidays and will send another ASAP, so I guess it will be a post holiday treat.  Diraduck
