+KC0GRN Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 10 or so, even the common USA geocoins tend to not travel as much as a travelbug. I believe I've lost 1 or two that I've released (probably by cachers that didn't understand they act like travelbugs, I'm not upset about it, just what happens). Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Probably 5'ish. Moun10Bike, Pepper, USA Geocoin, DanMan, probably at least 1 other... Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I think 3 or 4. Mostly USA. I plan on releasing one of the Maryland coins when I get them to see if it can travel to Maryland and then back here to CA. WIll it? I doubt it; but curious to see how far it gets. I have a stack of Santa Cruz coins that I've kept for the sole purpose of leaving them in caches, though. Not easy ones. Special, out-of-area caches 'cuz I want others to get that "hey, that's cool - a coin" feeling when they find it. Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 None, though I'm a low numbers kindofa gal. I just logged my first two coins, and they were both at a meet. Quote Link to comment
+f0t0m0m Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I've probably found about 8 coins in caches, but I normally don't go thru them items in the cache. Most of them have been USA coins, with one Canada and one other that I don't remember the type on. If I happen to notice a TB or coin and I can help it along I will. Of the 5 USA Coins that I released last year, only 1 is still actively moving. That is the one I placed in London. None of the ones in the US lasted more than a few caches. I have also released a few dozen 2004 California coins, but I do not track the movement of those. Quote Link to comment
+GrandpaKim Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 None. All of my coins have been through trades or buying. I have seen a couple at events, also. Quote Link to comment
+joefrog Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 About 12-15 USA coins, I'd guess. I scramble for them just like I do for any other travelbug! Quote Link to comment
+Cryptid Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) One USA Coin in a Cache. Edited August 15, 2005 by Cruiserdude Quote Link to comment
+Palm Grunt Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I've found close to 10-12 coins to include USA, State, and personal coins. Quote Link to comment

Looking forward to see some of the Santa Cruz Geocoins inside your new placements, since you have a habit of picking cool locations. I already have a Santa Cruz Geocoin, one of the best designs out there IMAO (In My Arrogant Opinion) . I haven't counted but I have found many Geocoins in caches... 10 USA, 2 CA(2004), 2 Canada, Alabama, Idaho, Washington, Conejo, Pepper, CKayaks, and Moun10Bike. Some of them have traveled on.

+Eric K Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 How many geo coins have you found actually in a cache?Me? I have found 3 3. Two USA and one Moun10bike Forgot about Canada. I've found two Canadian also. Quote Link to comment
+EScout Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I have found about 10 in caches, mostly USA, Canada and Vacman (he is local and leaves them around.) I have placed 7 in caches to be trade items (to Keep) and 2 as travelers. These were all California coins. The 2 travelers are gone.... Quote Link to comment
+Nazgul Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Several USAs of all years, Vacman, Pepper, CKayaks, Nurse Dave & Beckerbuns, Mauison, California, Oregon... Maybe others? Also a Calgary that I passed up and left for someone else. I've also left many geocoins in caches, which almost invariably are then taken via horrible down-trading. Quote Link to comment
+jamrasc Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I've actually found 7 US coins and 2 Oregon coins. Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I have found about 6 -- some of which were left specifically for me to find. (in an envelope with my name on it) I am just on a trip to a remote area where I will be placing a cache with about 12-15 coins in it. They will all be taken I am sure -- likely for aweful trades..... BUT ... at least I am going to make them work for it! Quote Link to comment
+Zekester & Simon Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 We've found two. Have had one for a week or so, and it is looking to go to Italy, we're in Connecticut. Anyone headed for Europe? We'd been considering using USAgeocoins as Tbug tags, drilling a hole and attaching them to something or other and sending them out with a goal like our other bugs. Figured they'd get a little more attention since they'd show up as a coin as opposed to a bug. The annoyance factor upon finding them might cause people to pitch 'em anyway, but they'd be less collectible with a hole through 'em. From the sounds of the discussion here that may be a bad idea, as thye'd just get scarfed up for trading. Of course if we saturate the area with em... Done dreaming now. Interested to hear any thoughts on the matter. Quote Link to comment
H to the Bizzle! Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 How many geo coins have you found actually in a cache?Me? I have found 3 1 as of today. I also own a geo-coin.. it's one of the "5 Years of Caching" coins. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 930 caches and I've still never found a geocoin in a cache. Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I have probably placed close to 50! Quote Link to comment
+TeamZebra Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I've seen 2 in caches. One I picked up, it wanted to go to Florida. Had it with me at an event and handed it off to another cacher who was supposed to be headed that way soon. The other was in a TB hotel and we were showing it to some folks from out of town. Didn't have any bugs with me at the time to trade out (it's a 1 for 1 cache ) All the others (including my personal milage coin) have been "found" in cacher's hands. Quote Link to comment
+cainrcc Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have found one PA GEO coin and thats all so far. Still looking for more!! Quote Link to comment
+Cav Scout Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I've found two Moun10bike coins, five WA coins, three OR coins, one Tunston jihad?, one Mexi "I don't wanna and U can't make me" coin, three Canada coins, Two AK coins, several TB Geocoins, and I'm sure of a few others I don't remember.

+IceCreamMan Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 According to my stats, I've fournd 30 USA Geocoins. Most of those were found in the wild. At least 20 of them. If fact, I found one on Sunday. I've also found a Canadian and a Texas in the Wild, as well as a "Joy of Geocaching". Quote Link to comment
+RustyBeerCan Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I found1 U.S.A. Geocoin in a muticache. plus a moun10 bike coin at pizza party event cache. and a michigan migo coin after 404 traditinal caches 32 multi cache 8 mystery puzzle caches 3 event caches the odds arent very high! of course I HOG all the ones that I have purchased Quote Link to comment
+MikeOtt Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I found just 2 USA coins in 400+ caches. Both thoes coins are now dead--one lasted 3 months, other 6 months. I launched 2 USA geocoins. One lasted 8 months (nothing in past month) And sometimes you get super lucky--the other is still going strong with 17,000 miles including visits to California, Italy and Sweden. I would be afraid to launch a valuable coin or a coin that you could not just buy more of for $5. Geocaching is still a cheap sport Quote Link to comment
+Folshen Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Found one USA Geocoin in the wild...actually found it twice. Second time we took it out of Michigan and dropped it in Kentucky and its currently moving around New York. As for releasing, we turned one loose and it lasted two months before coming up missing. Had the same thing happen with a Michigan coin that went MIA. Quote Link to comment
ImpalaBob Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 We've found and moved on 1 geocoin TB and ...... Yesterday Koikeeper and I received a brand new geocachetreasure.com The Green Man 2002 Inaugural geocoin as a FTF prize. Totally cool! I'm going to TB it and use it as a personal bug to track our geocache mileage and adventures. ImpalaBob Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I just hid about 15 coins in three caches called "Woss This?", "Woss Happening" and "Woss New" Someone's going to find plenty of coins in caches soon! Quote Link to comment
