User Matt1344 has contacted you with the following message:
I'm writing a few prominent Missouri geocachers to ask a question and propose an idea . . .
Has anyone raised the possibility of a producing a Missouri geocaching coin? Based on the information I've received (see below), it would run about $2.30 a coin if we ordered the minimum (250 coins). That's a total expenditure of a little over $575. The cost goes down a bit the more we get.
The St. Louis and Ozark groups seem pretty active and the Columbia geocachers are coming on strong. Surely this is do-able if the interest is there.
I'll go on record as offering to put in about $50.

<<Hi there. I got the email about your interest in making a geocoin. There are two people to talk to. The first is Alan Trammell at Pressed Metal Products in Canada. The only approved way it incorporate geocaching.com or the geocaching logo in you design is to use a common side die made by Groundspeak and is available for use at Pressed Metal. It is the same design you can see on the USA geocoin. The other side is designed by you and has to be approved by Bryan Roth at Groundspeak. He's the one that gives approval for using the Groundspeak die. The basic costs are $140-$210 to set-up the die you design. Then the coins are $1.47 each with out numbering or shipping and there is a minimum of 250.
If you have any other questions you can email me or I provided the contact information for Alan and Bryan.
