RedShoesGirl:
Try: Rhode Island Geocaching. Click on the link for Geocoins and for Geo-Creations.
The page is not really live any more. My last update was in 2007.
When Yahoo stopped hosting the page, WebRing transferred it to its site (without my permission, but I'm glad they did). I no longer have the ability to manage the page, so it's basically historical.
Hope this helps.

Not all geocoins are trackable.
The ones we leave usually are not trackable. So feel free to keep our nontrackable geocoins.
There are no numbers on them. Keep them if you want.
Hopefully this helps and doesn't add to any confusion.

There are 100 Team FISUR geocoins in existence. The design has a Rhode Island flavor. The geocoin is intended as our signature item. It is not trackable.
We began placing them into caches on 10/19/2002.
They are among the first personal geocoins out there, coming after those by Moun10Bike (Version 1), DHOBBY1, Indy Diver, and waypoint15.
The Team FISUR geocoin has an interesting legal history as evidenced by this email from geocaching.com in 10/2002: "Dear Team Fisur, Just a quick note regarding your geocoin: I realize that we gave you permission to use the logo in your designated format on the 100 coins. Since that time, our trademark attorneys have informed us that we must not allow modifications of the logo in order to enforce it. Understanding that you have already printed these, and in all fairness, we will continue to allow you to use them as signature items, as planned. If you wish to print more in the future, we will require a design change for the logo usage. If you have not printed them and it is not too much trouble to change the logo, we'd really appreciate that too. Thank you and Happy Geocaching! Sincerely, Bryan"
It was a lot of fun passing these out over the years. Now we're down to five left, and those are staying in our private collection.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the whole page of Rhode Island historical geocaches. Sure I can link the page to my main page. Is
this your page? Do think they would reciprocate with a link to
Our Rhode Island Geo-History page is basically in inactive/archive status. It has not been updated since 2007. But feel to use the contents as you wish.
Good luck.

This is one of the best threads I've read in a long time.
And here's a shout out to the OG's (original geocoiners)! You know who you are. Keep it real!

Back in the day, when geocoins were fairly new, we tracked them as they were created. A lot of them were nontrackable. Photos can be found in here:

Hope this helps.

buddy:
As a general matter, feel free to trade your item for the personal swag.
If the personal swag is intended for the cache owner, it should be clearly marked as such.

We would like to thank everyone for their kind words about our Geocoin Designs page (which is part of our Rhode Island Geocaching site). As other more sophisticated geocoin sites developed, there was no longer a need to continue the weekly updates. But it was fun while it lasted.
Back on topic, here is what we believe are the first metal personal geocoins, in an approximate order:
Moun10Bike (definitely #1)
waypoint15
DHOBBY1
Indy Diver
Team FISUR (placed at the top of the list on our Geocoins Designs page because, well, it's our page
)Wanderingdragon
GeoNap
Vacman
Dos Leos (homemade)
SquareD22 (homemade)
Conejo Cachers (is this a personal one?)
Pepper
GD's Geocoin (aka: The Mystery Geocoin) (could be higher on the list)
blazerfan
Haber Cache Tokens
Any tweaking of the list order would be appreciated.
Hope this helps.

Here's a challenge to you... Where does your metal personal geocoin rank?
This is only for what order your metal coins was made and not used as judging the looks or designs of geocoins
. So lets be nice please.Team FISUR ranking: Around 5
We started placing Team FISUR geocoins in caches on October 19, 2002.
(There were 100, and they're all gone.)
Cache on,
Team FISUR

I'm sure if you agreed to pay all the expenses for the website/staff to keep this site up and running Jeremy would drop the advertising that brings in the necessary revenue, shortly after your check clears.
You raise an interesting point. How much are the expenses? And how much comes in from advertising, membership, products, etc.? I always wondered. I hope its profitable and will continue.
Regardless, I'm all for the Jeep TB's, and I look forward to finding one some day.

Found mine in a cache a couple months back. Inquired to Team Fisur and got strange " We don't discuss CoinFusion" reply. So, I emailed Moun10bike. He explained it was a joint project by the original geocoin creators to put out a coin. Simple enough I guess.
The first rule of the Coinfusion Project is no one talks about the Coinfusion Project.
The second rule of the Coinfusion Project is no one talks about the Coinfusion Project.

not many products that involve fire fighting and EMS. im a fire fighter/medic and am looking to do a wooden nickel and poker chip first then if it turns out good im gonna do a coin. just have to find some designs i like.
The closest thing I could think of is the Geocaching Paramedic Gear by Skydiver. Maybe that'll inspire you.
Stay Safe.

Check out brdad's Public Domain Geocaching Logo Page. It might give you some ideas.
Good luck.

Just for the record, Arvoair had the first micro coin and I believe that *The Shadow* had the second.
I always thought that Go West had the first micro-geocoin. That one has been around since at least November of 2004. When did Arvoair's come out?
And don't forget Mr. Snazz's Micro Tokens. (I became aware of them around April of 2005.)
Forever studying geocoin geo-history,

I hate to be a snob, but aren't those wooden nickles/pokerchips?
I think Mr. Snazz's might be wooden, but I don't think the Go West one is either a wooden nickel or pokerchip.

Where is team Fisurs website? I don't know where to find it.
Just remember, his website isn't complete with all the personal coins out there.
I know of several coins that are not listed there.
Back in the day, the Team FISUR Geocoin Designs page had an image of practically every geocoin in existence. However, with the explosion of geocoins in the past year, it has become too time consuming for us to keep up. But if you're looking for "old school" geocoins by the O.G.'s, this is a good resource. Good luck on the hunt.
