What About Scotland & Ireland??

Haggis Hunter · Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2006 9:07 pm Post subject: What About Scotland & Ireland??

Back in November I posted this comment on the UK Geocoin group thread. (worthwhile reading the whole thread!)

It turns out I may have been right, as they have forgot about Scotland & Ireland whilst making new coins, see this thread.

Dissapointed to say the least. Crying or Very sad

Seems like you were banging your head against the wall HH.

Just one question though, WHO was considering a Scottish coin ?

I don't pay that much attentiion to the whole coin thing anymore - it's just too confusing.

Which problem is this, now?

It it the one about the politically insensitive coin design? Or is it the one about who controls which coins? Or is it where someone is making too much money out of it, and someone else isn't?

Perhaps this is a completely new coin kerfuffle. I don't know...

... it's a toss-up. Smile

Can we presume that the 'Scottish' coin design contains Shetland? The Br.. er, UK.. er.. - one with the 'Union Flag' seems to please and upset everyone in equal measures with the whole of the 'British Isles' (apart from Shetland etc.) and Eire etc etc.

Can someone help put the lid back on the worms now? Sad

The original "design" for the UK geocoin featured a map-and-a-flag for a very good reason...

... that's what was on the USA one.

At the time, I'd suggested that they could come up with some original and creative concept of their own, with a bit of thought.

This, of course, was a stupid idea.

I have it on good authority that the Scotland coin does NOT have a map on it. Everything on it is related to Scotland, and should not cause offense to anyone. Hopefully?
I would like to point out at this time, that I have nothing to do with any of the Geocoins.

I would like to think the the Scottish coin give us our own identity and lauds Scottishness, if there is such a thing!

Does anyone actually know who was involved in the decision about the design for the Scottish coin then?
