Thanks for all who who are donating so far:
EyeD10T
mlrs1996
scificollector
RedShoesGirl
Red Otter
and another mystery coin giver.
And a special thanks to the The Cache Reaper, The Bell Witch, Captain Hook and anther mystery coiner who have tried to use this thread as a geocoin forum raffle for their coins!
Each coin equals one shot at the first mystery coin and maybe the others. Only one person can win one coin though.
I will post the winner(s) in this thread shortly after Christmas.

I received this GREAT looking coin the other day. Thanks Chris and Helen!

Hello Everyone,
Cacheapalooza 5 is getting close and I am hoping to raise donations for the event raffle.
This years event currently has over 170 caches placed with several more to come. So it is a expensive event for the organizers and the raffle would help defray their costs. I along with 300+ other attendees are hoping to continue this annual event for many years to come, so any help would be much appreciated!
If you would like to help please email me and I will send you my address. I will post all donations in this thread if you wish. And if you have the chance, please come to the event whatever year you can.
Thank you for any help!

I have a few coins that have started their travels in Germany if anyone who has no coins want one.
-
I take it all are unactivated too.

Thanks so much! Just keep me in mind when you receive it!
TB41833 has now been activated (it arrived on Saturday) and is ready to start it's voyage as soon as NCFabFive has adopted it.
It's a Scavok Night and Day geocoin, and I'm trying to work out the best ways to keep it and it's instructions together while travelling. I was thinking of laminating the instructions, and attaching them with the strongest tape that I can find to the flip that the coin is in. Anyone got any better suggestions?
Z.
Yay, Zwack & I.E. for paying it forward! Hopefully this gesture will mean "good coin karma both for the coin you've adopted AND the coin you're adopting out!
For the coins I've adopted out, I placed written instructions in the flip on the site opposite the coin. Yes, these can be removed, but if someone wants a coin there's little one can do about thief-proofing the mission/instructions for a trackable. I could have drilled the coins, but I didn't think the people who had adopted the coins would appreciate a damaged coin, if they are so lucky as to get theirs.
I don't have a picture of what the travelling coins looked like with their written instructions, but I included:
1) The city/state/province that the coin wanted to go to
2) The tracking number (TBxxxxx)
3) The tracking code (unique on each coin)
4) A statement that the coin was owned and NOT to be kept as SWAG
5) A statement that the coin should be logged onto geocaching.com
All of the above should be reiterated on the coin's page, although geocaching.com does a lot for you already (tracking number is specified on every trackable's page). You've already taken a picture of the coin, which is great for the new coin owner, as they may never see the coin "in person."
Yes, "trackable at geocaching.com" is on every coin, but I figured a little reinforcement can't hurt. When it comes to reading, there are three kinds of cachers:
Those who don't read anything (a clear majority, mainly because they are new and don't fully understand yet)
Those who read but ignore/don't care/unable to help with mission/or can't follow instructions
Those who read and do their best to follow through (precious few geocachers)
Good luck to the travels of this coin (a Night and Day coin - lovely!), and again, congratulations on paying it forward!
In addition to this, if I am trading or selling to someone overseas I will send a few of my activated coins over there. They survive much longer than in the States. By the way, I have one or two over there that need a new owner.

not a coin, but from another geocoin forum member
A coin and a card!
The holidays have taken a large toll on me the last 5 years...these thoughts, these kindnesses, are so appreciated, so undeserved. My thanks, and I'm certain, Kathy's thanks.
ILYKI used to have that geocoin, but it didn't have a hole in it.
-
My preference is both! I hope I get a chance to buy them!
-
Well, i haven't sent a geocoin in a mission yet cause i am too attached to the few i have...
if you agree, i'd like to adopt it
I am sending you a adoption request for a coin that is traveling in Germany. Happy Holidays!

Thank you Chuck!
I was trying to find the event but I didn't know which one was it! 
I entered and saw that the bigfoot coins are trackable?? I didn't know that!
Can I ask you something my friend? In one of the photos, there is a man with a beard... and it seems he is receiving a medal...
what is that?? what is this medal??? Do you know???
That is TeamSnook who have found 31418 caches

He posted a tease on the event page today. Now I can't wait to see the back!

Here is a coin and two trackable items I got recently.

Yesterday I got Tupperman LE and a German Reviewer XLE
And here is what Droo sent me a few weeks ago...
-
Thanks Captain Hook for promising to come to our event! I am looking forward to seeing your new mystery coin!
-
Thank you Unknown Wizard for the coins you donated to our event!
-
Kate, thanks for the nice coins you donated to our local event!
-
Thanks much tempusfragilis for the coin you sent me and the 3 coins you donated to a local event!
-
Thank you Sasquatch my friend for the two coin donations to a local event and thank you for the unactivated coin you gave me!
-
This is a coin I received a few weeks ago...some of the elders may or may not appreciate the number.
Here are a few more coins sent to me in the past few weeks...
And today I got the AE version of the Bremen coin, to go with my plexiglass version...
-
This is what some good friends sent yesterday.
-
Oh, I also have oodles and oodles of these poker coins that I have no idea what to do with! I'd gladly trade these (even two or three of these for one from you) for any of the above. I'd also swap for other non trackable coins.
I've had a couple successful trades but I still have lots of poker coins left! I'll happily trade these for anything at all. I'll give at least three for any unactivated trackable!

Groundspeak sold this at their Lost and Found Celebration. I believe it is long gone...

BTW ~ if nobody steps forward with a request for a coin in Germany, once again, I'd love to adopt it. I can't get to Germany to visit a friend that lives there, so I will request that the coin stay in that country as my Proxy.
Hope you enjoy your new coin. Happy Holidays!
