I was given this coin by Ron and love the mission. I took the coin down to Puerto Rico where it has spent a few weeks hanging out in the warm Caribbean sun. I plan to give this coin to a friend of mine who is visiting from Australia, as I feel it will accomplish wonderful things on that side of the world.

Traci gave me this coin and has helped tremendously in my Real Estate business with "all things" Internet. I am somewhat TECH-tarted and she has been a blessing. Her kindness is unmatched.

This is the first Monarch coin off the truck. After helping the DHL driver unload all 50 boxes (whew!), I handed it to him along with a tip, and explained how it works. :)

Gave this coin to my wonderful cousin Sheryl today. She is the perfect type of person for a Butterfly Coin, caring and thoughtful and generous. I know it’s in good hands (for now).

near 7010 Hwy 71 W, Austin, TX 78735, USA

Paid the dinner tab for a table of 6 at Jim’s diner, picked the table completely at random. Stayed anonymous. Feels like we’re committing a crime. Exhilarating! New tagline: Covert kindness

Gave the coin and a twenty dollar bill to this dude who needed it outside Slicks. He promised to pay it forward in his own time and way.

This sort of thing is normally outside of my comfort zone. But with the coin in my pocket, I was actively looking for an opportunity to help someone – and damn if it didn't feel great.

Just gave the coin to our barista at Lola Savannah along with a nice tip... she was a little flustered, as was I, lol... probably thought we were a couple of religious nutjobs. Anyway, hope she reads this, figures out the program here and leaves a note, then passes the coin along in her own way.

While our project is in its infancy, I thought I'd post this Example Coin with some fake story notes so you can see how the animated map works. Here's my first story note.

This is a really special coin – the very first Butterfly Coin ever made. I've been keeping it in my pocket every day, and taking it out from time to time to fiddle with it. Hard not to.

I haven't yet decided its fate, but whatever I do with it should be meaningful. Stay tuned...

Edit the story note (click the 3 vertical dots on the right side of the note to open the story admin menu), then change the location using the map.

Hi Dan, we've always allowed pic and video uploads when making a Story note. You'll see some if you browse through the Stories.

Which background image are you referring to that isn't sizing properly?

Ron

Hi meedson, sorry for the delayed response. Whoever types in the coin's tracking code first becomes the "starter" of that coin, regardless of whether or not story notes are entered. So, you're friend's account should just start from the home page and enter each coin's code in the form near the top. That should do it.

Ron

Welcome, Cindy! Glad you're here. :)

Make sure you’re seeing both shipping options - Priority (the more expensive option) and First Class (cheaper). That price sounds like Priority.

You need to go through checkout until you select the shipping method.

The prices are based on the weight of the coins, so the quantity you’re buying will factor in, too.

No, but it’s something we’re considering. Unfortunately the legal and accounting overhead of getting and keeping non-profit status is not insignificant.

Ron

That means you weren’t logged in when you made the note. Give me the coin’s url or first 4 characters of its tracking code and I’ll fix it for you.

Australia, Greece, UK and Germany so far.

Thanks, elis. We're not 100% sure yet if we'll continue to produce them for the whole year. We definitely plan on releasing a couple more editions this year, though.

Ron

Thanks for your feedback, evie.

If/when you log a location on a note is completely up to you. Geolocation services and their accuracy vary from device to device, so it is an inexact science.

You can edit any story note you’ve made and change or even remove the location for that note.

Thank you so much! I share your hopes. :)
