Current Status Of The Project Update 10-10-09 Activating your coins. If this is your first geocoin, and you ordered one with a tracking number you will need to activate it to make it trackable. Become a member of
www.geocaching.com (It is free). Then click the Trackable Items link on the left side of the homepage and follow the directions. It will ask you for your tracking number and activation code that is included in your order. From there you can customize your coin's information page.
This thread was started last time for those of us who send them out.
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F.../HTML/075990.html#p9 When you register your coin it will give you a separate tracking number that you can post and not give out the actual tracking number of your coin. Please post that number in the thread so that the rest of us can enter your coin in our watch list to see it's current location.
Update 10-08-09 Your coins are on their way care of the United States Postal Service and in a couple of incidences the Canadian equivalent very shortly. Those of you in the Midwest may see them in your mailboxes as early as tomorrow.
Update 10-01-09 The geocoins are now at my house! -But I'm not, and I won't get home from my trip until Tuesday evening. Sorry, work has to come first. I will package and ship them as soon as I can.
Update 09-30-09 Our coins are scheduled to arrive at my house tomorrow.
Update 09-28-09 The coins are done and UPS has received the billing information. They are awaiting official possession of the package. I will update its progress as I receive new information.
Update 09-08-09 I received word from Kelly at Coins for Anything. The coins have an estimated completion date of 9/26. Look for your coins to be in your mailbox early in October.
Update 08-27-09 If I had to guess I would anticipate our coins to be completed by September 10th. Shipping will probably take about 4 days like last time. After that it is up to me to assemble and ship your orders. All we have to do right now is wait for it to happen.
Update 08-26-09 We have begun production! I have placed our order with Coins for Anything and put down our deposit. Our tracking numbers have been paid for and are processing right now. I should have them later this evening.
Annie at Groundspeak has once again granted us the prefix PF for all of our tracking codes. (Appropriate for a Pontiac Fiero Geocoin).
It is a small detail but one that I think is a nice finishing touch.
Update 08-25-09 Our order has been placed. The production ball has begun rolling. I will obtain tracking numbers tomorrow from Groundspeak.
Make sure that the coins you want appear in the list below. Also if your coins are to be personalized make sure that it appears exactly the way you want it to be engraved on the coin. Now is your chance to make modifications.

This is how you will determin the price of your order.

Total number of BBS coins____________ X $6.88 =___________
+
Shipping and packaging..........................+$4.80 = Final Price of your order
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry but we are no longer accepting new coin requests but don't feel too bad we can do it again whenever we get enough to place an order of 50 coins. The only thing that I ask is that we only do one run at a time to keep it from becoming too complex.
Payment method is Paypal only, and I will not be ordering until everyone has paid.
This time there will be no alternate list and no extra coins will be available. (At least not from me
).
Update 05-30-09 I would like to thank Freshj and JimmyS for staying up late with me to finalize the design of the Black/Blue Silver coin (BBS).
I have posted your requests for personalized engraving.
If you choose this option they will not be trackable for geocaching purposes. Please take a moment to verify the accuracy of your request in the list below. How it is here is how it will appear on the coin. There is room on the coin for up to 8 characters. A space counts as a character.Blue White / Gold (BWG) coin request list. Member..................

I would like to say thank you again to the core group that made the first project happen. Because of their financial contributions we have a set of dies that are available from now on to produce our Fiero Geocoin. Since we no longer have to pay for new ones each time we re-order it will save us $198 on future orders. The savings will now be passed on to you. We can now use upgraded metals and/or paint colors without changing the cost of the coins very much, or we can stick with the shiny nickel finish that we used last time and produce a lower cost coin.
If you would like your coin to have custom engraving instead of Geocaching Tracking Numbers it is available. That option will still be available at no extra charge. The engraving plate has room for 8 characters.
Personalized coins are not trackable for geocaching purposes. With that said if you place it in a geocache as a trade item I would be happy to trade something for it.
