UK Mega Event Geocoin

[Jaz666]

The UK Mega Event Committee needs to sell as many of these coins as possible in order for the event to take place.
Whilst we have secured the hire of the venue at a significant discount, we still need to raise a fair bit of money ahead of the event.

I've priced them at £5.25, half of which is production costs - so we need to sell 500 before we break even.

I'll have some samples to show at the Cheshire Camping event next weekend, the pictures really don't do the quality any justice.





I am aware there are some that are unhappy with parts of the design. Sadly if they had contacted me before this week I could have changed the design, but they are now in production so it is too late.

Well, it looks great to me! :cheers:

I'll mention it in our next customers newsletter to hopefully drum up some support and reservations for coins.:cheers:

Don't know about the coin - but the criticism's all wrong - it's only called the Union Jack when it's flown from the Jack staff on a ship!!!
In this case, it's the Union Flag - and is the recognised flag of the United Kingdom.........and with over 20 smileys to choose from, why have you only used 7?

Done.
Hopefully it will help with the coin sales. Are you advertising them on the geocaching.com coin forums? It would get a lot of interest from the collectors there me thinks.

I haven't yet, as I've been a bit short of time to deal with processing the orders (starting a house move). I've got a couple more days of holiday left to catch up with the backlog before I start pimping them to the Americans.

Oh, and the objections didn't come from the use of the Union Flag, more to do with the unfortunate placement of the Mega Bubble - I should have picked up on it before I approved the production run, but we all make mistakes.

I've ordered a geocoin and wanted to support the UK event even though I can't attend.

I won't release my coin until after the event date but am wondering if I should ever release it at all.

Are other members releasing the UK event coin or keeping them?
