2009 Wombat

Artwork finalised and proofcoins are on the way. The invoices are being sent out – hurry them back if you want the free custom engraving!

I’ve made a formal 2009 Australia Geocoin pre-sale order form to collect your details and custom engraving via googledocs – For brave aussies who are confident the coin will look ok (backside as same as last year but with 2009 wombat on the front) latest news http://forum.geocaching.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=11124&p=141256&e=141256

Artwork based on image licensed from Tom Dempsey
If you like wombats please take a moment to visit http://www.wombatprotection.org.au/

DIGGIN’ CACHES DOWN UNDER.
* 1.75 inches, trackable, icon, custom engraving option on back
* big smoke edition: gold plate with translucent hard enamel
* outback edition: antique bronze with soft enamel (aussies only)

Delivery will be from australia for domestic sales, registered post same as last year. International sales / late sales will be done through cointracking.com and will not include custom engraving.

pre-order mailing list now stands around 300 ish coins and there is a placeholder for trading lists at cointracking.com

Price looks to be USD $9.50 per coin – bad news regarding customs.
Please check the day’s conversion rate at ANZ and don’t forget paypal and credit cards charge conversion fees on top of that (although now I have laid aside a USD credit card so i can offer charging in AUD and you can use internet banking.)

Hi forthferalz – I would like to get 3 x gold and 7 x antique bronze (if the price works out a bit cheaper, then I’d probably want a couple extra).

Provided that “… Down Under” comes out on top (re: your poll on the GCA forum – looking good so far, at 90%), I would like to order seven (7) of the Big Smoke and two (2) of the Outback editions, for a total of nine (9) luscious Aussie 2009 geocoins 😉
Thanks!

Hey, I Loved your coins last year and I would also like to put my name down for one of each sort.
I know you must be busy but there are not any new posts for a while on the new Coin. Is there any new news? Or have things just slowed down for a while?
