Tempting the Fates

This is another one of SupremeMe's geocoins. The coin was designed by Chris Mackey . I'm not sure how many were minted, or when it was released. There were a few on ebay so I thought it was a new coin, but I see it has been out and about since at least early 07. I found a reference that it was supposed to ship on January 20th. That particular blog entry didn't have a date but posts above and below it are for December 2006. So my best guess is that it was released some time in early 07.

SupremeMe was pretty excited about this coin when it came. It has both a curse on it and an easter egg of sorts. The text under the skull reads something to the tune of

Don't tempt fate

Move my coin

Steal this coin

at your peril
Also, the designer incorporated his initial in to the design. If you look underneath the skull you can see the letter "M". The coin is 1.75 inches in diameter and is 3mm think. SupremeMe won't be releasing this one in to the wild. Instead it will remain in his collection. Hopefully it won't bring him bad luck. After all, he hasn't stolen it from a cache. He bought it fair and square!
