I have had a coin sitting dormant in the hands of a cacher since last November; not a long time I know, but still........ I have sent him a few notes through the mail asking if it has been 'lost' but I never have received a reply. To have a coin go missing from a cache is one thing; to know that your coin is sitting in the hands of another cacher who ignores your requests for information is very frustrating. I am pleased to say all of my other coins are moving through-out the Geocaching community!
