You can try to get this coin: Objectnumber 290286435486.
I am looking for an unactivated Project APE Geocoin. I wasn't into collecting coins when these were released but with a trip planned to the Project APE cache later this spring I am looking for one to bring along with me. I don't really have a lot of traders so I am looking to buy it or maybe a trade with money as well. I hope someone on here may have one that they might be willing to part with. PM me through my profile. Thanks a lot.

Since I'm from Holland, my Dutch is better then my English. And I happen to be up (because of eBay) so I can answer some of your questions.
A mushroom = a toadstool. I've looked it up at Wikipedia. This particular one is a Clytocybe Geopatra. It's the avatar of Geopatra.
The mushroom is added to the coin (glued). It's made of rubber or latex. The hats vary from red, blue and white with the coin metal: gold, copper or silver.
The price is about $ 10,- per coin (€ 7,50). As a set of 3 coins the price of the set is about $ 27,50 (€ 21,-). I don't know what the price of S&H is. You could take a look at K2coins.nl.

These little frogs have arrived in Holland. And now I am trying to fit them in an album cutout. But even the round 55mm and the rectangle 46x58mm cutouts aren't big enough. So no little froggies after all

Is there a breakdown on the finishes? Or is it equal: 125 of each finish?
338 pcs SG02-1 Birka: 2-tone. Gold & Silver + Color
248 pcs SG02-2 Birka: Gold + Color
158 pcs SG02-3 Birka: Antique silver
148 pcs SG02-4 Birka: Gold + Foggy Gold
Wow, almost a thousand coins. That's what happens when a coin is real good looking.

been away from the forums for a little bit.... and looks like i missed these... will they be on sale or is this it?
drat.
As far as I know they're still on sale: geocoin.se

They have arrived! And they look really great!!!

I like the new printable page very much!
But I do miss the option of printing 5 logs. This could be standard with the possibility to click it away.
I saw it's now possible to print the photo's that are placed by logs. Could this also be implemented for the photo's on the cache pages?

Showing them again causes my MSIE to crash and close. I've tried it on multiple cache pages and it did it every time.
What version of IE?
It works fine in Opera 9, IE 7, Safari XP and FireFox 2 and 3.0 beta
-Raine
This is IE 6.
-
The new print friendly pages look great! But may I suggest the possability to choose for 5 logs?
Further more if a page is not in correct html it becomes unreadable in print version.
And perhaps the option to print the pictures the owner uploaded but didn't use in his description.

P.S.
I heard of IE 6 crashing when hiding pictures on the print page.

You can view the pictures in any log as a slideshow (manualy) by clicking on a picture. The photo is now displayed full size. You can now go through the pictures by clicking on the right (next) or left (previous) side of the picture. "Close" ends the slideshow. You can also use your buttons: left and right arrow and "Esc".
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying.
Are you saying if you click on one of the small thumbnails at the bottom of a log, the picture you click on is placed in the larger thumbnail on the upper right beside the text? If so, that larger thumbnail is not the full size image. Click on that larger thumbnail and you will see the real image.
Click here to see large and small thumbnails.
Click here to see full size image.
What I discribed is when you view the photo's with a log from the cache-page (not the log page).

1. Show me caches that my friend (or friends up to 4 maybe) have found, but I have not.
2. Show me caches that both my friend and I (or friends up to 4 maybe) have all not found.
In the Netherlands we have a Google map which does these things for two people. It only works for caches in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and 30km of west Germany.
Groundspeak could make this too (for the whole world).

In the Netherlands we've set up a ratingsystem. It was meant to be a trial and is recieved very well. We call it Geo d'Or.
How it works:
- You need 60 founds to get your first 3 awards.
- For every 20 founds you get another award.
- You must have found a cache to give it an award.
- You can give a cache only one award.
- You can't give een award to your own caches.
- There's no need to give away all your awards (be selctive).
- Only when a cache has 5 founds it appears in the list of awarded caches.
- There are 2 lists; one with the absolute number of awards given; one list which is relative (number awards / number founds * 100 %).
- This last list is the more important one
- The system isn't annonymous. Someone can see who gave an award.
- It is possible to take your award back. You could then give it to another cache.
So far this system works fine. It would be nice if we could enter the reason why we gave this particular cache our award but that hasn't been implemented (yet).
If someone would like to take a look at it, you can follow these links: absolute list and relative list.
Don't mind the Dutch language.

Another bug...
When a picture in a cachedescription is over 675 pixels wide, the columns to the right are being squeezed.
For example GCRQAF.
It's dutch but it's just as an example. Before the changes it was just fine.
In addition to this a screenshot.
Also the opposite is happening. When there's a url in a bugs name the right-hand boxes will become very big.

I'm using the latest version of Firefox (version 2.0.0.4) and the "Send to GPS" button shows up for me, and I'm able to successfully send the waypoint to my GPS. Could you post a screenshot of the pop-up you get in Firefox? That might help somebody pinpoint the issue.
Here's what I get with Firefox/2.0.0.4. My GPS is a Garmin etrex Legend Cx. The test page says the Plugin is properly installed and my Garmin GPS device is detected and communicating properly.
Just hit the F5 key when the pop-up appears. That will solve your problem.

And yet another bug...
It's impossible to print spoiler pictures or pictures that you have to use to find a cache but are not displayed in the description. How can we solve this?

I noticed the new feature Send to GPS. Looks good and is promissing. The only problem I have is that it only downloads a loc-file. If this feature would send a gpx-file to my gps including the childwaypoints, I would start using it.
So maybe an extra for members? And perhaps with the closed chest-symbol?

Yah.. but since we don't track if a picture is a 'spoiler' won't be happening
I think the way it is not will work for the meantime.
-Raine
It 's not the responsibility of GC to track of a picture is a spoiler but the responsibility of the cacher who places the log and photo to mark it as a spoiler. An extra option when loading up the picture. I think this would be an option you could (easily) implement.
-
I think it's a matter of taste but I liked the way the photo's were shown at the bottom of a log. FF displayed them well, IE didn't wrap them. That's fixable.
It would be a nice feature if the poster of a photo could mark it as a spoiler so it would be pixelized like wsgaskins shows in this post.

I'm unable to print a photo at the bottom of the listing that are added by the owner (like a spoiler photo).
I've got a workaround: via the Gallery you get normal clickable photoos. These are printable.
But when there's a lot of pictures, it's not handy.
Maybe an extra link aside of the photoname which takes you to a printable version of the picture?
