CrotalusRex & Mimichan Geocoin Enters Presale
The the antique silver and bronze editions of the CrotalusRex & Mimichan Geocoin enter presale at CoinsandPins.com.
Here is what their website has to say about these coins …
A great fundraiser coin for the conservation of and study of reptiles–especially the Eastern Box Turtle. This coin has a hidden unique feature: it rattles when you shake it! It’s not a loud rattle that will annoy you if the kids get hold of it, but just enough to give you a similar sound of a rattlesnake that may be hiding in a bush off in the distance. You can read the story behind this coin and the critical state the Eastern Box Turtles are in by clicking on the turtle tracks website link.
CrotalusRex is the geocacher who brought you the famous Crikey Geocoin and the fun Tube Torture Geocache. The Crikey Geocoin has even made it all the way to the Irwin family in Australia. CrotalusRex is also known as Snake Steve and is conducting official field research that directly benefits the conservation of the Eastern Box Turtle. CoinsAndPins.com has even participated in one of his turtle tracking programs located at the Earthshine Lodge in North Carolina. Not only does your purchase of this coin provide a donation to this important research, but you can also help by adopting a turtle listed on his website.
