Then what? You develop a suspect list then start making accusations? I agree that coin thefth is a HUGE problem, but making it a members only feature will only encourage witch hunts and lynch mobs. Geocaching politics are ugly enough as is.

Yeah, we love geocaching in Rocky Mountain National Park! All of those ammo can hides make it worth commerating on a coin. I will take 10.

How sad Using Moun10bike's good name to peddle commercial coins that have no relevance to geocaching. IMHO, this is a new low.

I would rather dive, face first, into a vat of hot vomit!

I love geocoins. I hate nonsense coins that have nothing to do with geocaching and for made for the sole purpose of putting a buck in someone's pocket. If you don't care then why waste your time posting responses about it? I thought stating our opinions is what these forums are all about. You have got to be kidding. You can order these coins as a boy or girl. They do not come much more generic than that! Try this: imagine how surprised he will be some years later! 'Mommy, that was really me in PINK diapers? No son, it was just a money making ploy based on the premise that a 5-day old baby wandered into the woods with a GPS unit and found a container containing a coin.

EXACTLY! And what exactly are you defining as quality anyways? I have heard of complaints on how a coin looks and how visible the numbers might be, but that is more appearance than anything. It is not like these have to stand up to the test of circulation or anything. They either go in albums or in a cache or two (then in an album). What makes these of superior quality to the point of justifying selling them for big bucks?

I will buy one for every elephant i have found in a geocache.

TB's go where they go despite what those with overgrown egos might say. How disgraceful it would be to the Jeep folks if they whined about a toy jeep falling into the hands of one our own in a hostile area. Also if you check the rules, this contest is based on residency and not on location of the toy jeep. I would like to get ahold of one here, but cannot guarantee that I can find a cache to get it into. Safe caching opportunities are few and far between right now so keep them up Tango's way. Keep safe bro

I am there! Great idea!

You must have missed the part about being only 5 days old and finding his first Geocoin. That surely makes it geocaching related doesn't it? Yeah, I read the entire post. I hope he did not find it during a bushwack. Diaper rash is bad enough, just try mixing it with poison ivy. You might also want to consider that the other babies might make fun of him wearing pink diapers. I just don't know. Whatever people choose to blow their cash on is fine.

and what does this have to do with geocaching? NOTHING!

Lower the price and cut their mammoth profit margin? Why would they want to do that? I must admit that I am surprised to see that they jumped into nonsense geocoins so soon; after all they still have 2 Dogs, 1 Cat, 2 Frogs and 16 Fish without geocoins. I guess it does not matter what order they do them in as along as the profits keep accumulating.

I can't believe anyone would want to spend money on these, especially after hearing nothing for months on end.

Yes!! A fun, informative, educational, historical and "related" to geocaching!!! 2 more caches to place!!!! Huh? You produce hundreds of coins, THEN put out the caches? Sounds like you have placed the cart before the horse (I mean the coin before the cache).

Does anyone was to trade a Jeep for a Feep? . I like your idea better.

Let me guess. You buy one for each National Park you have found a geocache in?

Great, another commercial coin. Someone will make a buck off of it.

Congratulations! The commercial coin market appears to have reached a new low.

We also live in a free market society where you the consumer are in control of what YOU buy. BINGO! If this is the level of intelligence the geocaching market demands then perhaps it is time for me to start producing series of coins. Lets start with a tribute the Cookie Monster then perhaps a coin dedicated to accountants. I could make a fortune.

Lets make a coin dedicated to Stephen Rienhold Guston. He was a steamship mechanic that on a ship that sailed somewhere long ago using maps with lat and long on them. I hope you make your million on your series of coins.

I am beginning to re-think how much progress has been made in this area after seeing "geo"coins relating to oriental decorating philosophies. There is a sucker born every minute and there are some who are more than ready to part them with that money even if they are geocachers. What a poor way to take care of our community.

Yeah I love this coin too. I use Feng Shui every time I go caching or even begin to think about geocaching. Every one should have a dozen of these. I cannot think of a coin more relevant to the world of geocaching. Why would anyone ever think of this as a commercial ploy to extract money from the pockets of hard working geocachers. Feng Shui and greed never go together. Right?

Replace the log That is just common courtesy in the GC world

Not true! Poison ivy is somewhat invasive to forest habitats. It typically only grows under openings under the canopy (along trails). Environmentalists want it gone but do not want to deal with the itching from handling it.

You could leave some interesting photos for the owner.
