  1. We're about out of team geocoins, and we're looking for new signature item ideas. We've been toying with (1) bandana maps (with a topo map), (2) geo-bandanas (with a guide to geocaching in the area), and (3) sundial geocoins.

     

    We would appreciate any other ideas. (Well almost any.)

     

    Thanks in Advance, and Happy Holidays.

  2. The Cache in - Trash Out (CITO) bags were available for sale though geocaching.com in connection with the first CITO Day on April 26, 2003. I don't think that they are selling the bags any more. Maybe they'll sell the bags again in the Spring. There are some CITO bags in this photo:

    I would have thought the same thing....if we didn't have a bunch of whiny a$$ crybabies in the forums who post just for the sake of picking a fight so they can puff up like a blowfish......behind their computer.


     

    In case you're categorizing me as a ''blowfish'', check out my posts over the last two years. I try to be helpful, upbeat, and to the point. And I believe that geocaching.com is the best site out there, in regard to geocaching or otherwise. I just don't like to be insulted.

  4. I really don't care one way or other about the IMG issue or the moderating issue. However, I did find CO Admin's first post on the other thread to be insulting and demeaning. Kind of like a sadistic grade school teacher talking to a slowwitted child. It probably wasn't meant to be taken that way, but that's the feeling I got after reading it. And that's all I have to say about that.

    Do a google/yahoo search for challenge coins. You should find some companies that can do the job.

     

    We used militarychallengecoins.com (aka: wemakecoins.com) for the Team FISUR Geocoins. The 1st 100 cost a little over $4.00 per coin which included payment for the die. Once you have the die, the next set will cost less. If you get the coins individually numbered or want special edging, that'll cost you more.

     

    Wanderingdragon had her coins made through D & R Military Specialties (militaryspecialties.com). They are very nice.

     

    About a year ago, Groundspeak indicated that it would make a die available for one side of the coin with a geocaching.com logo. This makes the initial expense much less if you want the logo. It appears that the USA Geocoin and Oregon Geocoin have these sides, but I don't recall which company mints them. (Nurse Dave, one of the creators of the Oregon geocoin, might be a point of contact in this regard.)

     

    Don't forget the plastic, wooden, and homemade geocoins that also impressive.

     

    Good luck with your geocoin,

  6. Jeremy's right, I was referring to geocoins. But if you take a look at the Geocoin Designs section of our home page, you'll see that there are a number items designated by its creators as GeoTokens, including those by Team Huckleberry, SpiderTracks, Geogeek, Myarch, Cool_and_the_Gang, and P2 (Squared). Such signature items are very geocoin-like. I've also noted that on occasion a geocoin is referred to as a token.
