Would you like to design the Geocoinfest 2012 coin?

We hope you would like to because we’re opening up the design to everyone who wants to give it a try.

The thread Moderators will be asked to delete any images that are posted to this thread. We want this to be kept a secret!

Design a coin, front and back, and let your imagination run wild. Please include all pertinent information about the coin you’ve designed. We need to know what size it is, what metals are used, is it 3D or 2D, enamel colors, any special attributes, etc. Please include Pantone chart numbers for enamels, glitters and glow in the dark. If you need help you can find a Pantone color chart here:

Make it round or make it any shape you want. Just make it unique!

OK, I think id do it like they have here but you want to keep the designs secret so that minus the poll.

PS: do you want people posting here when they have designed a coin, but not showing the pictures.

Here is what I posted above and I hope it helps answer any of your questions about where to submit your artwork and what we're looking for. We will not be asking for a poll here on the MN forums, as we are asking anybody worldwide to participate.
