After checking with several vendors I did find one that would offer the most options for the price. These options include personalization as pictured in the art. For those who don’t want 20 coins the enamel will be left off of the branch leaving bare metal and your personalization will be engraved there. Other options would be that you can split an order with someone if you can agree on what you want printed on the coin, or leave the printing off. The price also includes your choice of regular, glitter or glow colors in all the areas listed on the art as “your choice”. I will post links to the color choices soon.
The total price for 20 personalized coins including shipping will be $150. Each coin over the 20 will be $5.00, up to 50 coins(total price of $300 for 50 coins). The reason the coins get a little cheaper after the first 20 is the initial order includes a set up fee for printing(at almost $1 per coin if you are only getting 20), a portion of the “art fee” and the shipping charge. These coins are 1.75″ and will be trackable with a custom icon. You will have your choice of metals and colors including glitter and glow in the dark.
Robin? Does that mean we could customize the words MWGB 2008 as well? Also would I be able to fit our entire team name on the front (Mathman, SirCumference,The Better Half, Cutie Pi)?
You can cusomize the color of the words MWGB 2008 – not change the actual words. You can put your own wording where it says “custom text”. I am waiting to find out how many letters you will be able to fit in the text areas. There are enough text areas where you should be able to fit your entire team name using all of them. 🙂

Something we may or may not need.
http://www.forgetmenotpanties.com/Looks like someone needs them – they are currently sold out. 😉
This is what it said on the first post in this topic:
Something also to note — waysides are not under the jurisdiction of the DOT. They are fair game for geocache placement.
Here is the preliminary art:
The branch will be bare metal so it can be printed (for those getting 20 or more) or engraved (for those choosing the “generic” parrot option).
I am still working out the details. One option may be to have a “generic” parrot (one that you don’t get to choose your own colors on) but you could still have personalized engraving. I am really going to work hard to try to have some options available for those that don’t want to have 20 coins.
No, it should definetly be $150 or less for 20 coins. So far the quotes have been coming in at about $5.50-$6.50 per coin. I am also thinking about making a “generic” version for people who don’t want to buy 20 coins. I am open to suggestion about what to put on that coin. Also looking for any input on design modifications – please!
I will take orders as late as I possibly can, but I don’t want to risk not having the coins in had for the event. Anyone from WI can order, I am not going to police people and make sure they attend MWGB to get the coin 😉 .
I am still planning on having a CITO event this year. The parks department was very happy with what we accomplished last year. As the time gets closer I will be looking for some volunteers to place caches in area parks that will be released on the day of the CITO event.
We can always hope for an other CVB event next year 🙂 .
I didn’t mean to omit anyone from the cow, I just chose some names at random to give an example of what it might look like. Didn’t mean to offend anyone.
I contacted the people from MWGB before posting about the coin here. They have seen and approved the design and have issued me a vendors permit. 😀 . They have no problems with the coin, especially since it is a group project. I am not making any money off of this, if I made 500 of them and sold them at MWGB, then the 10% would apply.
If we go with the parrot coin, you can partner with someone if you agree upon colors and personalization- then you could split the order and get 10 each. I have not gotten any quotes on the cow coin yet so I don’t know about numbers with that coin yet.
Here is a new link: http://www.madhattersneverland.com/pez/wrappers/ProtoPage/coin_ROBIN_PARROT/1.htm
It has an other parrot on and a version of Ldoves cow. If we did the cow you would not be able to choose your own colors, they would all be the same and have everyones name listed on them.
I am going to be gone with Zuma for 5 days of caching in IL – a little warmer and a little less snow, I hope. When I get back I will make a poll to gauge the interest in both coins and go from there. I should have all of the price quotes in at that time as well. Currently it looks like it will be between $5.50 and $6.50 per coin, with a minimum of a 20 coin order.
Here is one idea for a WI MWGB group coin. http://www.madhattersneverland.com/pez/wrappers/ProtoPage/coin_ROBIN_PARROT/1.htm There would be a space for each person to add their name – or what ever they wanted to in that space. You could choose your own colors, including glitter or glow in the dark.
I am also going to present an idea based upon Ldove’s Mooving cow, if I get her permission to do so. Let me know if you are interested and what you think.
