That's perfectly clear. But how can someone decide in the field if an unmarked coin is activated or not, so he has to move it without trading, or can trade to keep it? If finder leaves nothing and takes nothing but the coin to travel, and later finds that it is unactivated, he cannot keep it since he didn't trade for it. Imagine, if you found a really gorgeous coin you really craved for, only to find out later that it was swag, but at that point there's no way you can keep it. Maddening.
On the other way, if finder trades for it evenly to find out later that it's not swag and has to release it, he traded maybe more than 10 bucks for absolutely nothing.
Either way, if finder does not guess right in the field, and later wants to keep the rules, he will be "robbed", of his trade items, or of his right of trading.
Clearly marking unactivated coin as swag should be mandatory.
I can only think of one way to resolve this. If an unmarked coin _later_ proves to be unactivated swag, can you leave its "price" in the _next_ cache you visit? Not a perfect solution, but still you do not steal from the community as a whole. What do you think about it? Would be acceptable?
