G-Rovers Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Is there a Wisconsin geocoin? how do i see where it is? thanx Quote Link to comment
+Team Tecmage Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Hi G-Rovers. I asked a question similar to that one about Indiana, and you see what that led to. A good starting point for all things Geocoin is right here. Quote Link to comment
+wifireman Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Unfortunately there isnt a Wisconsin geo coin yet. Hopefully someday we will have one. This topic has come up a few times at our WGA website at www.wi-geocaching.com Smokey Quote Link to comment

+Team Tecmage Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Why wait around for the WI association to do something. Make it! I have no clue on how to get a coin going or where to start.... You start with some ideas. What will make your coin unique? What Wisconsin feature would work on your coin? Look at some other coins and find some things you like and don't like. Toss ideas around. That's a start. Oh yeah, you need someone with some graphics skills to help out. Either someone good with a graphics package, or general graphics skills. Quote Link to comment
+Buddaman Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Why wait around for the WI association to do something. Make it! I have no clue on how to get a coin going or where to start.... What Wisconsin feature would work on your coin? A wheel of cheese, or a coin looking like a wheel of cheese with holes in the coin .I don't think I've ever seen a geo coin with holes in it.

PCFrog Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 WI coin is in the works now for those who would like to know. Quote Link to comment
+maggieszoo Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 If it has a cow on it, I'll take 4. Otherwise, 2. But the cheese wheel with holes, does sound really cool! Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 A thread asking the same a couple weeks ago. A thread at Wi-geocaching you might want to jump in on. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment
+nscaler Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) All I found were three designs on the WGA website. I liked this idea the best: There have been other suggestions for the back involving deer and a bird too. Is there an official design yet? When is the order site coming up? Edited August 25, 2005 by nscaler Quote Link to comment
+nscaler Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 And here is the most recent (8/15/05) suggestion for the back. Quote Link to comment
+nscaler Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Well, the front design is set: The one with the state on it. Now they are voting on the back. These two are tied right now: and this rather plain one: Quote Link to comment
+Buddaman Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I'm telling you that the more different the coin is the more you will sell. and the more people will want it. the wheel of cheese look with the holes in it will be a good seller. not to be a bummer or whatnot but the coins you shown in this thred look very plain to me and I'm sure other people will agree.

+nscaler Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 In another thread on this forum, they went through the whole cheese thing and decided against it. Go to their site and you can vote on what you like. Quote Link to comment

+greyhounder Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 The voting has been completed and the deer design will be on the back. There might still be a few design tweaks, and the coin will soon be available. Bec (by the way, I'm not involved in the whole design and sale part. I'm just a voting WGA member. I wanted a badger on the back myself -- we're the badger state -- but it was too hard for someone to draw.) Quote Link to comment
+nscaler Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Yes. I saw the drawing Quote Link to comment
+greyhounder Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Yes. I saw the drawing Be Nice! I tried really hard!! Bec Quote Link to comment

+greyhounder Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Go to the Wi geocaching forum for ordering information. At this point, they're still in the designing process, so I have no clue when they'll be made available for ordering. And I'll just mention again, I have no involvement in this coin -- I'm just a Wi geocacher. Bec Quote Link to comment

Bec Right - it sounds to me, from what they're saying, that ordering will be done through the WGA online store - similar to how Michigan sold theirs. I'm sure it will be announced when ready.
