+Team 5150 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 That's funny. I drilled a hole in the one I have and was going to try to get it back to you! Quote Link to comment
+Chooch72 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Woot ! ! Got my coin activated and gave it the mission - Now let's see what happens.... Good luck little buddy Quote Link to comment
+Team JSAM Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Paid with paypal included Coin name and mission in the notes of the payment. Thanks again this is a great Idea! Quote Link to comment
+Team JSAM Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 One question on your webpage it says IS THERE A LIMIT ON HOW MANY I CAN BUY FOR $4.99 EACH? YES, QTY 50 only per person please So if each person can buy up to 50 coins how are you going to stop selling them after 25-50 have been purchased? HOW LONG WILL SUNSHINEGANG BE SELLING THESE? Till we reach a certain quanity sold. right now we are considering 25-50. So if you want one the time to order is now. If you wait it might be too late. Quote Link to comment
+PaHawkeye Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Paypal payment included coin name and mission AND I emailed the same just to make sure. What a neat idea!! Quote Link to comment
+the.pud Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 REALLY neat idea, it's just along way for me from NZ to actually see my coin. P.S. Todd your trade is in the post from NZ. Quote Link to comment

I put the 50 per person just to let people know they could buy more than one. I was gonna put there is no limit but thought a limit of 50 per person might be kinda of amusing. So far no one has broken the rules and bought more than 50 Quote Link to comment

+Damenace Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) I have received my codes and the coin is ready to rock and roll. I hope everyone gets a chance to participate with this coin. I stole this idea ( they are aware of it) from a fellow Utah cacher, GBOTS. I added a twist since mine is not a contest. The twist was inspired by AtlantaGal the other day when she had asked if I was going to GW4. She had mentioned that it would be fun to meet people from a little further west. Well what better way to meet than to log this coin Have you ever wanted to meet the people you have traded with? Well I have just the coin for you: Operation Smile . I think this would be a fun way to put names to faces. I am not concerned about the miles as much as I am interested in the pictures so I can meet those who I have traded with or those who are just as crazy about coins as myself. Please feel free to pass this coin around in any means you see fit, but most importantly please keep it moving. Edited May 21, 2006 by Damenace Quote Link to comment

+Damenace Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) Well I think it is great that 79 coins got released into the wild , I am furious that my Operation Smile coin has come up missing already, it doesn't even have any miles yet . It got placed into Froo Froo Cache-a-roo on the 22nd of May, there has been three people that have logged the cache since the release of the coin, the third posted that there was no coins or TB's . HHHMMMM, where has my coin gone???????? Anyone???????? Edited June 1, 2006 by Damenace Quote Link to comment
+Scott-N8ZUS Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Yeah! I agree! I'm the one that Posted the Last log on that Cache today! Out of about twelve Cache's I did today at least two or three still showed the SunShine gang Mission TB Geocoins as of being in the Cache yet! I'm Planning a trip to Florida at the end of Next week, and I'm still looking for some TB's to move down there! Kinda Sucks to see a TB that's suppose to be in a GeoCache Not there! Well I'm Done Venting!!! Next Please! Quote Link to comment

HHHMMMM, where has my coin gone???????? Anyone???????? It is very unfortunate that your coin has moved and has not been logged. but I would encourage you to not be furious just yet. Hopefully the person that has the coin just has not logged it yet. it has been just over a week so I would encourage you to try and put your self in the "Concerned" or "hopefull" category for just a little while first. The sad truth is Travel Bugs and Trackable coins are mortal just like people. People & TBs will all go missing/die. Death/missing is always disapointing and of course even more disapointing when lost at the very beginning of it's journey. So for now I am hopefull your coin will pop up again. Quote Link to comment
+greyhounder Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Guess what? My Operation: Spreading Sunshine geocoin has reached its goal! I wanted it to come to Fort Atkinson (my hometown). It arrive last night and I picked it up today. How fun!! The next time I, or someone I know, goes out of state, we'll start this process over again! Bec Quote Link to comment
