<p>[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 24863902, member: 94733"]As many of you know, I'm getting rid of my collection(s), and in doing so, I offered ALL of my World foreign coins to the Boy Scouts of America. I got an email response from the regional director, which covers Montana, Idaho, and I think So. Dakota. We made arrangements for him to come to my cabin, as I'm not in condition to travel. I told him I was off the grid and hard to find, and he replied, in a boastful air; "Just give my your coordinates and I will find the place." I gave him the coordinates straight from my phones GPS. I later triple checked it to make sure it was correct, as he emailed me back that he went to those coordinates and couldn't find my cabin, or any sign that there was ever a building there. So much for his Boy Scouts achievement patch for reading maps. I sent him an Earth Google map, with the exact roads highlighted to take right to my cabin. Never heard from him again.</p><p>I offered them to the Girl Scouts of America and never got a response at all. I never thought; 1) it would be so difficult to find contact information for two of the largest organizations in the World, and 2) it would be so hard to GIVE AWAY MONEY!</p><p>If any of you out there, collect specific coins from foreign countries, and would like me to send you some, please just PM me your address and I'll mail them to you. Please don't ask for all of them, as I couldn't afford the mailing cost.</p><p>End of rant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
