I have updated the list. Changes can be made to your requests and new requests will be taken until Wed night at 11:59pm. I want you to be able to get the coins you want and I want you to be happy with them so please take a moment to verify that your order is listed properly in Post 1 of this thread. Unless you specifically tell me otherwise your coins will have a geocaching tracking number.
Personalized coins can not be tracked. Tracking numbers are assigned by www.geocaching.com and are tracked by entering the code on the coin there. They are trackable at their website. Wikipedia has a description of geocoins if you would like more information about how they work.

This is the first moment I have had today to check the list. I have updated it. I have been dealing with various things today that have taken most of my time.
I need to place a call to Kelly at the manufacturer to finalize the production specs. Everything is moving along smoothly.
Please check your requests to make sure they are correct. If there is an error let me know here or by pm. We have approximately 23 hours until the order status is frozen. Let me know as soon as possible if you want to add a coin request or change an existing order.
The next phases will be collecting the funds and purchasing our tracking numbers from the geocaching website. Once all orders have been paid for we will proceed to production. Have your paypal ready to go.

The last chance to change your order or request new coins ends at 11:59pm tonight. Have your paypal ready. Tomorrow I will send out a pm with payment information to those of you you are participating in this order.
Thanks, as long as I keep my fiero, and can connect to PFF and people keep coming out with these I'll get one every year I have my car. (Just picked it up this year)
Now I just gotta figure out a place to mount it in the car.

I might extend the deadline a day or two due to not hearing back from Kelly at the manufacturer about the finish that we are requesting. She needs to send me a reply so that I can make sure that we get the finish that we want included in the production specs. She seems to not understand what I am trying to get across to her and I will not proceed until I have the proper specs locked in. This is a minor setback but it shouldn't be too much of an issue. At the latest we should be able to begin production Monday or Tuesday. I can send them the engraving list next week without affecting our production schedule.

Officially the deadline for new orders has passed. Unofficially until I lock in the production specs, hopefully later today, I will still take new orders. I am waiting on a reply from the manufacturer.

While reviewing the final specs they said that if they make our raised artwork look like the eagle exactly it would alter our dies. It would also alter the look of all future coins. I do not wish to do that.

After talking to the Kelly we have decided that the coin will be the closest to the sample coin if the center artwork is shiny gold. To make it textured would ruin the dies for future projects that require a shiny finish. It will still look awesome.
Race, I think I can speak for most here when I say, do what you need to do to make them right. I, for one, am willing to wait if it means a better product in the end and in the future. Vince

Thank you. I would have liked the finish on the sample coin but not at the cost of permanently altering our dies. It will still have the same color scheme and I think that it will look incredible. I don't think that anyone will be dissapointed.

We are at record pace for a geocoin project! It is time to move the project forward. Money is now being collected. I would lime to have payment for your coins by Monday morning so that we can move to production.
Here is how to determine the cost of your order:
Number coins you Requested X $8.00 = _________
+ Flat-rate packaging and shipping $4.80
= The final shipped price of your order_____________.
Please send your funds to expiowaATyahoo.com. Replace AT with @ when transferring you funds at paypal.com I spelled AT instead of using he symbol in the hope that web bots won't pick up my email address and spam me.
I will send a group pm with payment details later from my home computer. If you have already sent your payment please disregard it.
Thanks everyone for making another geocoin project possible. This would not be possible without everyone's contribution.

I forgot to add this. VERY IMPORTANT When you make your money please include your SCREEN NAME here at the forum as well as your SHIPPING ADDRESS. If you do not do this I will not know who has paid me since I know most of you only by screen name.
My paypal address is expiowaATyahoo.com (Replace AT with @. It is my main email address so I don't want the bots to pick it up and spam me). Thanks you.

Did you get my PayPal pmt ? I did include the screen name & address, want to make sure the information made it to you.
Our order is set for production and can not be changed at this point. If you have not requested any coins yet you will need to be added to an alternate list if I have non-payers. DO NOT SEND MONEY. If you send me funds and have missed the deadline to ordered coins I will send it back minus the paypal fees.
I hate to be that way but this offer has been available for over a week and in fairness to those who placed orders before the deadline, (that I had already unofficially extended an extra 24 hours), it was time to proceed to production so that I can get the coins to their owners.
