Symbology Reservations

Rumor has it the reservations for Symbology, Crake's much anticipated release will open this weekend (Rumor is Sunday). There is no need to crash Crake's site, you will get a whole week to reserve the coin. The site to reserve the coins will most likely be here. This coin is the sequel to his Tracking Time geocoin. A coin that many revere as one of the most beautiful geocoins if not the best. After looking at this coin I have a question about Crake's Symbology. Why is the earth in your coins always the the "Old Half" or the Africa-Europe-Asia part? All this time I thought Texans thought Texas was the middle of the map :D

*Quote from Crake*

Two possibilities:

#1 It is an attempt to restore world balance by slipping sublimital messages into my coins that promotes the concept that the rest of the world is just as important, if not more important than North America.
#2 It has a better "fit" than the other side from an artistic standpoint.

Pick your favorite :)
