Title: Turtles Are On Their Way!!
Post by: CoinCrusader42 on June 20, 2008, 02:07:31 PM

As this is being written, three large sea turtles are currenty swimming under the Golden Gate Bridge, out of San Francisco, and headed toward the open sea.

Each has a package securely strapped to its shell, and the destinations are all in Australia.

So, tiddyathome, Triggersmob, and Prawn, please let us know when they arrive.

Should be a week to 10 days.  Once delivered, the turtles certainly deserve some time off, which will probably be spent on one of Australia's beautiful beaches.

 :D :D :D :D

Turtle has arrived today. Will feed him up and rest him for a few days, then send him back your way.

Thanks for the coins, Gary.

Much appreciated.

The postal service to Australia seems much better than it once was.

My "first class" packages are arriving in 7 to 10 days.

 :D :D :D :D

Well, let's hope they keep that up. I just sent off a very loaded little turtle heading for Western Australia. 

Headsup, Triggersmob, Catch!

I'm waiting to catch it...

Well, I still owe you for that first Buddy Exchange we did, when that Peruvian coin went astray.  I know you said I didn't need to worry about it, but I did anyway... so this is my make up mailing! Hopefully we'll have a better chance with it this time. :D

Thanks very much, Ellekitty. You didn't have to. I have long since forgotten about that.

Thanks anyway though, I'll let you know when it arrives. :)

A well laden turtle arrived on the beach in Perth today.
Totally exhausted from it's long swim.

Thank you, Ellekitty for the huge bundle of coins you sent me.
I really appreciate your help in growing my World wide collection.
My attempt to have the biggest collection of Mexican coins, outside of Mexico
just took a major boost.

Thanks very much. :) :) :)

G'day.
A very small, highly trained Numismatic Turtle, (only available in Oz), left the Queensland coast today.
With GPS and full rations, the ETA on the west coast of the USA should be next
Monday.
Any interference from foreign trained Wanker Turtles will not be appreciated.
"Go the Numismurtle". The Oz answer to overseas postage.
regards, :D :D

Triggersmob, I'm relieved to hear it arrived safely!   I have access to a tonne of Mexican coins, many of which are just laying about my various coin collecting/storage spaces without a lot of attention.  When I started reading how you were really interested in Mexican coinage, I decided I needed to send some to you.  Then I just decided I'd send a coin (at least one) from every country in central and south America (Dominican Republic slipped in, technically I think they're a Caribbean Island.) ... except French Guiana. (because I've only got one coin from there, an 18th century little thing from the Colony of Cayenne) They use Euros. :( 

Enjoy!

I have a turtle on the way to Australia (finally). Nevol will get her statehood quarters and forward a few of my precious buffalos to LordPercy. (Just couldn't send an unc. that far from home sorry! ;D) Greg your rolls are enroute as well!!!

Hey ElleKitty I would like to collect some U.S. currency!!! Any date would be fine with me so feel free to ship, regardless of quanity, and I will be standing by my mailbox when it arrives!!! ;D

Terry, while I've got currencies from every country out there to spare, I just don't have two American cents to rub together. ;) Sorry! ;D

LordPercy,

Your Statehood Quarters would seem to be overdue.

Any sign of the turtle on the horizon?

A poor little over-worked turtle arrived for my son Prawn carrying TWO package from CoinCrusader42!
Gary, thank you very much, but I think you are exhausting the turtle population!!!  Many thanks!

 :) :D ;D :D :)
