Due to the newly imposed “Liberation Day” tariffs, we have made the difficult decision to close Geocoin Club after nearly two decades in operation.
Founded in July 2005 by a group of friends in the Midwest, Geocoin Club started as a simple idea shared around a campfire—to send out a new geocoin every month. That idea grew into a small business that supported one household full-time and provided financial support to two others. Over 15 individuals benefited from our journey through small business and free enterprise.
While our subscriber base has steadily declined over time, it remained just viable—until now. The abrupt and sweeping tariffs have severely impacted both our current customer base and our ability to attract new ones, making continued operations unsustainable.
We will continue to deliver coins through August July 2025 so we can have had 20 full years of our service. We will be canceling subscription renewals starting April 14, 2025. For those left with partial unfulfilled memberships, we hope to exit our remaining obligations to you with integrity and will be offering past issue coins as the primary means to fulfill your membership purchase. This situation is significant and unplanned, your consideration and patience is appreciated as we work to manage. Our situation underscores the harsh impact these tariffs are having on small businesses like ours across the country.
This is not a political statement—these are economic realities. Global trade enables entrepreneurs to build something meaningful, but small businesses lack the cash reserves and financing options of large corporations. Sudden, sweeping changes like these are devastating. Even if tariffs are reversed, the damage to our business is already done and irreversible.
We’re proud of what we built, grateful for the community that supported us, and committed to fulfilling our remaining obligations with integrity.
