Feel free to submit to any magazine you wish! While I would agree it would be a great numismatic human interest story I don't know how the publications would feel. One thing is for certain there is NO group on the net like us!

I have seen small articles on coin clubs issuing medals or wooden nickels before. I just don't know how to go about getting them to do that.

[Tobyle]

Mine arrived today - thankyou so much to everyone involved. Absolutely love them - would say more, but got to run to get the overnight train to Melbourne - Mum not well.

[Templar]

THIS IS A REPLY ABOUT GETTING INTO ONE OF THE MAGAZINES---I WILL MAKE SOME INQUIRIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND SEE WHAT IT TAKES....

YOUR SERVANT AND FRIEND............THE TABLOID TEMPLAR

[Triggersmob]

My medals arrived yesterday.
Many thanks to all involved with their production and distribution.
They are truly beautiful pieces of art.

[TwoShadows]

It is soooooooo good to know the Australian post found Triggersmob by the end of the month. That takes a world of stress off of all the U.S. Knights and Knightesses who were about to look at their medallions just for him. I do want Trigg to know....WE were really going to do it just for him!!!

[Triggersmob]

Thank you Twoshadows, your kindness knows no bounds.

[Erik]

WWWWWWWooooooooowwwwwwwww Yesterday I received silver medaillon too !!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!! It is the most beautiful thing in my collection !!!! Somebody paid for my medallion because I don´t have money and I need to thank lovely members in our Castle. Here is too many kindly collectors and I don´t know who is it. Please, Terry or somebody tell me know who paid for this madallion.
  I am very very happy  :)Thank you very much everybody kindly members in our castle !!!!!!!

[TwoShadows]

Merlin said the Dragon shall sleep in the Slovak Republic! Guess he knew what he was talking about.
Erik I am thrilled the package found its way to you as I had never sent a package to your country so I was worried about it being delivered. It is good to see that you have a trustworthy postal system that we all can count on as many countries do not.
I think you will find there are many good hearts inside these walls of KOTCT and two of them have spoken to you by way of this gift. There are millions of good people left in our world and we are all very fortunate to know a few of them here at KOTCT.
Please take the time to thank your mother and father for allowing us into your computer to share our passion for this hobby. And, as for the Knights who purchased your medallion, they have already been thanked in your posting above.

I have been playing with an online translation this morning and not getting exactly what I thought this phrase meant;

   In Sulum Miles Militis Nos Fides

Would someone care to translate again for me as I really would like to see how far off I am!

[Triggersmob]

It translates to "Upon Each Soldier We Assurance".

But I think we meant it to mean "In each Knight we trust".

I trust every knight

http://www.latinphrasetranslation.com/translators/latin_to_english

[TwoShadows]

In trying to get the translation, without looking through all of our 2008 medallion postings, I came upon duplicate meanings for Miles and Militis as they both mean Knight or Soldier. If I put things together correctly I would get "In Each Knight, Knights We Trust" by the dictionary I was searching in. That would be word for word?
If anyone can find a site with a correct explanation I sure would like to have a look at it.

Paint Your Wagon your site is very good but I still, word for word, get a dual answer on Miles and Militis.

[NoHope587]

Its been close to 30 years since I tried to learn Latin but I don't remember a word for Knight as far as I know it means soldier. I don't think the term knight was around in Roman Times so I assume its ok to substitute the word.

[TwoShadows]

Through the years there must have been changes as the translation now includes soldier, foot soldier and Knight. I am having trouble with the fact two words used on our medallion both show the same definition which would put it as In Each Knight, Knights we trust? That would be using one of the various words used for each Latin word I entered and searched for.
Don't get me wrong as I really like the mystery the latin terminology adds to the reverse of the medallions. I am just trying to learn something today and at my age that can be confusing!

As you know my wife has a doctor coming to the house daily for injections
His best translation was that Militis is a genetiv possessive word for Miles
So it would be In Each Knight's Knight we trust
He proposed it was bad latin for a superknight and said he would try and look it up but I doubt he has the time

[TwoShadows]

Thank you Paint Your Wagon as I now know I am not completely crazy!

I am still amazed that a doctor will make house calls in Belgium. Sometimes we are lucky to see our doctors in their own offices!

Now here is another question this morning! Where is Daniel Carr's logo on our 2009 medallions?

[Triggersmob]

Good point, Terry.
It appears that Daniel has omitted it from the design this year.

[TwoShadows]

Yes, or he hid it very well which I suspected at first but after a tremendous amount of looking I can't find one. Was it intentional or an oversight? It Daniel did accidently forget would this make them the FIRST Moonlight Mint error to reach circulation (so to speak)? Perhaps Daniel has new Moonlight Mint logo in mind? Seems we have a new mystery on our hands but, as they say, someone knows!

[Yass]

My medallions turned up today. As usual they are magnificent.  I am still partial to the copper antique finish.

A BIG Thank You to all involved.

[Humpybong]

What has happened to our 'keeper of the records'

Received items not being marked off the list.

I know she has received her medallions....maybe she is still in shock over the beauty of them!


 

[TwoShadows]

I hope she has not gone out on STRIKE! But in the event she has I/We are prepared to pay her three times more than what she is making right now! And that is just because we all love her so much! Good help is hard to find you know!

Merlin says"She is Dragon Drooling" whatever that is?

[Nevol]

Wow, 3 times zero = Zero.  I'm rich!!!.

Dragon Drooling is the order of the day, but...I have to add that Merlin is too smart!!! My keyboard is all gunked up and needs to be de-drooled!      

No excuses for my non performance.        

[Nevol]

Just a quick note to Nancy from Bill (longnine009) to let you know he received his medalions and thought they were very nice. This should help you stay up with your charting....I hope.

You Aussie's have no idea how badly I wanted to get in that box when it went to Humpybong. I figured you all could pass me around long enough to raise the funds to ship me back up here! But it would still have been a great trip!

[Humpybong]

Nevol...spoke with brissyboy Friday night at QNS meeting....he has received his medals

HAS THERE BEEN ANY NEW INFORMATION OF THE GARY BURKE MEDALLION?..............IS IT COMPLETE?.......WHEN CAN WE EXPECT IT TO BE AVAILABLE?

YOUR SERVANT AND FRIEND..............THE TEMPLAR

The last I heard from Daniel Carr was the mere fact he was still waiting for the pewter medallions to arrive. Will try to contact him again soon to see where the project stands.

[justabeginner]
