+islander1988 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I came on here tonight to see if there would be a 12-13-14 coin, since I missed out on the group coin last year. Too bad there won't be one. I would think 2 months would be enough lead time, but I suppose the problem is once you add on getting all the commitments and colour schemes, final numbers, payments, and them shipping coins out to people, it doesn't take long for a few weeks to get eaten up. If there's a group Pi coin, I'd definitely be interested. Will have to put a watch on this thread so I don't forget. Quote Link to comment

I've been told by a source in the know that a project like this requires 3 months minimum. The mints are now so busy that they pay no attention to "rush" orders. Getting people to respond by deadlines is also a problem unless the group is limited to a few people. Quote Link to comment

oakcoins Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 HI! This is Janae from Oakcoins. Here is the link for the different versions of the coin. https://www.geoswag.com/policy-multi-event You guys have come up with awesome coin designs! Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Submitted my event today for approval (GC1E788) and working on my colour scheme to get in before the deadline tomorrow. Just a quick question, if it can be answered by Oakcoins: roughly how many people are taking part in the coin trade? I'm considering it, but I'm just getting 50 coins. If a lot of others are doing it, I don't want to get my order and find I only have a dozen coins or something of my own design to sell at my event. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+islander1988 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 If anyone else is like me and still playing with their colours to submit, I converted the PDF files from Oakcoins into SVGs for the front & back, and then using Inkscape (a free vector program) I created semi-transparent shapes for the various the fill areas. The result is I can select an area, choose a colour, and all the linked areas change as well, making it easy and fast to play with colour schemes. If that's confusing, I did a screen capture to demonstrate. If anyone wants the SVGs to play with, I uploaded them at http://islander1988.com/downloads/121314template.zip Hopefully I didn't misinterpret which areas are grouped. Quote Link to comment
