Eleven bring the gift of spiritual inheritance, is gifted as the "Light-Bearer". It is the number of the Light within all. Strengthened by the love of Peace, gentleness, sensitivity and insight. Greatest facility is the awareness of Universal relationship. Is related to the energy of Oppositions and the Balancing needed in order to achieve synthesis. Eleven is The PeaceMaker

Yesterday the tv news came to the flash mob event and he said he would see us next year on 11-11-11 which happens to be Veterans Day.

 

Perhaps something patriotic?

I would prefer it not be patriotic, celebrating Veteran's Day, only because Veteran's Day is a US holiday. This is an international multi-event. I think a Veteran's Day version would be more appropriate than a Veteran's Day design. However, a design honoring the signing of the Armistice that ended the World War would probably work.

Agreed, it has to have world wide appeal, that is not to say we would not get it downunder.. we are not savages sitting in the dirt poking berries up our noses :P Ok there was that one time, but it was my 21st. :P

 

Australia

 

In Australia Remembrance Day is always observed on 11 November, although the day is not a public holiday. Services are held at 11am at war memorials and schools in suburbs and towns across the country, at which "Last Post" is sounded by a bugler and a one-minute silence is observed. In recent decades, however, Remembrance Day has been partly eclipsed by ANZAC Day (25 April) as the national day of war commemoration.

Trying to flesh out my previous idea… This is lame as I've written it :unsure: , but I like the basic idea, so maybe you can make something out of it…

-----------------------------

11 Events on

11.11.11

11 caches, 11 coins, 11 friends

 

Elevannouncing eleven elevunprecedented, elevunreal events!

Each will offer eleven previously elevunpublished caches. Eleven elevunparalleled new coins will be available. Elevunquestionably, major fun will be had. Elevunbridle your enthusiasm for elevunending fun!

 

To make 11.11.11 a day to remember...

Find eleven caches,

Discover, move, trade and/or buy eleven coins, and

Meet eleven caching friends, new or old.

 

No penalties for overshooting the targets!

------------------------------

 

So, there'd be 11 versions of a coin on the theme and 11 events, each offering 11 new caches.

It seems very do-able since people can discover coins at the events if they aren't into collecting/trading and, of course, they can meet other cachers there.

I didn't see the movie so ? But I'm prolly the only one.

 

More 11 stuff... probably not useful for a coin but here it is anyway:

Eleven days that never were.

The British Calendar Act of 1751, declared that the day after Wednesday, Sept 2nd, 1752, would be Thursday, Sept 14th. Eleven days vanished… POOF!

 

From wikipedia:

"It has been reported in some history books that a number of the public rioted after the calendar change, requesting that their "eleven days" be returned."

:)

There's even a painting entitled "Give us our Eleven Days".
