    Wooden Nickel Trading

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Well, for your first question... It would be cool to collect coins that have traveled around the world, but unfortnatly, you can't!! Active coins that are traveling belong to others and I don't think any collector would like their coins to stop moving. To collect coins you have to buy them unactivated, now you could release them and hope one day they will return to you but its never knowen what will happen to it once you let it go. A lot of realeased geocoins get stolen, and most of us drill a hole or holes in them so that it will increase the chance of it continue to travel and eliminate them from being re-sold. We also attach tags , although none of this stops them from disapearing.

     

    Most collectors keep their coins they buy to trade or release, so that is reallythe only way to collect.

     

    Wooden nickels have been around for awhile, there is a thread here for trading them, and I have collected quite afew from caches also. A lot of peps with wooden nickles leave them as you said as calling cards in caches, also you will find trinkets with names on them called sig items some peps collect those as well or send them along in a coin trade.

    You also might look into pathtags where they have a serial number to track where they are and are much more affordable to make.

     

    Hope your first coin does well out in the wild and welcome to the geocoin addiction!

    DJ the Tribal Flowers look great, nice job :P

    thank you,, they are very interesting,, the translucent has a silver background then the translucent was layed over it and black nickel on top, something ive never seen on a coin before... they turned out great,, the glitter was layed over the level 1 design but if you look very very close you can kinda make out the design. :)

    :o ive been down on my luck for some time now, i guess i just cant catch a break.. ive had some bad things come up over the past months, and havent been able to frequent the forums very much :o and when i do i have to be very selectave on witch threads to read, i got in troubble for spending to much of my time on the forums, with my wife also. i see ive been deleted from mission 1 after many many many months of waiting :P i figured once you signed up for a mission you were part of it, but i guess thats not the case here. seems like you had to sign up twice even if youve never flaked out or not sent a mission....... at least zariah got her missions its about the kid over here anyway..... :D:):)

     

    No Need for a story,,

    All you have to do is ask.

    We almost lost a mission because I didn't pay attention to who was still active.

    That's why I asked for refreshers.

    Your readded.

    sorry i guess i dident pay attention, thx for the re-add

    COINTEST: Earth Hour

    I think this falls under #2. We are big on recycle, infact yesterday we went to the container store and used a gift card we got for christmas for 4 new bigger bins to put our cans, paper, plastic, and glass in. we cash in on the cans but the other 3 we take to a center that does the recycle of the stuff, we probably make 2-4 trips a month. Its not much but save the earth in landfill mass. Its a very easy way to make a difference. I wish more would do this. I myself, have some bins at work for the trash I pick up around the property. I do litter pick up for about am hour each day at work, when they get full we have one dumpster for recycle purpose. You would be susprized how much other peps litter , for an idea I usuall fill a 5 gallon bucket. 2-10 times a day and probably 90 percent of that is recycle able. That's a min of a 10 5 gallon buckets a week, and I belive that helps!!

    unauthorized and illegal copy of the templar coin on ebay!

    Caveat emptor.

     

    I am wondering why everyone is upset about this. It's just a coin. They aren't selling them as trackable coins on the geocaching site.

     

    They are similar, but not identical. While this may not be authorized there is nothing wrong with having something that is "unauthorized". There is nothing illegal about a coin that is similar to another.

     

    They aren't advertised as geocoins. (Besides, even if they were it wouldn't matter. Any coin can be a geocoin. I have a quarter ad I can call it a geocoin if I want.)

     

    I understand that the designer might be irritated but why would anyone else care?

     

    I doubt eBay will do anything. Someone is selling a coin. They are advertising it as a coin. It is a coin. Which came first- the chicken or the egg? How would eBay know which is which? This is much ado about nothing.

    another reason to care is because we here collect coins, if this were to get out of hand no one would by geocoins, and no one would make them and the collecting value of the geocoins would be flushed out the window. no one would know if the geocoins they are buying are real. not to mention, the use of Groundspeak,, they would get a bad name, and then this forum would go away. exc.
