+Cav Scout Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Seems like everyone is making a geocoin of some type. There are personal geocoins, state geocoins, event geocoins, and even geocoins for Christmas! I think its time to have a Illinois state geocoin made. I'm originally from Illinois and would like to see one made or get one if they exsist. I have designed and started orders on two geocoins since I have been here in Iraq. I know its not to hard to get this idea going. Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hopefully one of the Illinois groups will step up to the plate. Link to comment
+Stunod Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 GONIL will be looking into making a coin soon. And I've heard CIGA is also interested. Maybe we can combine efforts. Link to comment

+Doughball Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 GONIL will be looking into making a coin soon. And I've heard CIGA is also interested. Maybe we can combine efforts. I've never been accused of being very creative, but if GONIL is going to do a coin I'd be happy to help out. Link to comment
+Cav Scout Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 Put me down for two. Nobody has offered to make the coin yet. I am willing to help out with a design. I really don't want to be the one collecting the money for this project. Any volunteers? I am thinking this may take about three people to do this task. I have a good coin maker in mind.

+Morgue Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I would like to pre-order two of the Illinois Geocoins. Thanks! Link to comment
+S Keillan Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I'll be interested in a few, but I'll need to see prices before decided the precise number. Link to comment
+Diggles & Liggles Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I've heard rumors that a group or two was working on one, and I think it sounds like fun. How does one get a coin made that is trackable on the gc.com website? Link to comment
+Audion64 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 While GC trackable coins are certainly nice... they do in fact add $1.50 PER coin to the price. Are majority of the other state coins trackable or non-trackable? I'm not much of a coin collector so I don't know. Link to comment
+Doughball Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 While GC trackable coins are certainly nice... they do in fact add $1.50 PER coin to the price. Are majority of the other state coins trackable or non-trackable? I'm not much of a coin collector so I don't know. Most of the recent state coins have been GC trackable, but I don't think it has much of an impact on whether or not the coins sell out. I'd take them either way. I'm sure this isn't a complete list, but these are the coins produced (or soon to be) in the last few months that I can think of. Trackable: Colorado, New Jersey, Maryland, Tennessee, Alabama, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Mexico Not Trackable (at GC): North Dakota, Washington, California, Indiana I'm not sure about Iowa.

+Shasties Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I'll jump on the bandwagon early for this one. I'll precommitt for 2 of anything you guys come up with. I haven't met a coin yet I didn't like. I'll keep a watch on this thread. Thanks. Link to comment
+RustyBeerCan Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) Cool another State coin that I went Geocaching in. I was most impressed with the rivers and forests there. How about the Illinois state fish JUST PLAYING AROUND I dont know to much about Illinois, or making coins so back under the rock I go till it's time to order Edited October 7, 2005 by RustyBeerCan Link to comment
+Cav Scout Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 If you all would like I could go ahead and design a state geocoin for Illinois nad get production set up for the coin. I do not want to take on the task of collecting money and shipping the coin. I am in Iraq and already have my hands full here with the OIFGA coin. Anyone willing to help out? Link to comment
+Doughball Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 It doesn't look like any Illinois groups are going to jump in. If we don't make the coin, I'm sure someone from another state will. I'll volunteer to collect the payments and do the shipping. So where do we start? Link to comment
+Audion64 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I'll stick my neck out here and say that GONIL will DEFINITELY be making a coin in the relative near future. Link to comment
+Cav Scout Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 I'll stick my neck out here and say that GONIL will DEFINITELY be making a coin in the relative near future. If they are going to make a Illinois state coin then they should mention something if possible. I am willing to start a design. This is something that is easy to do. Link to comment
+Cav Scout Posted October 8, 2005 Author Share Posted October 8, 2005 I'm closing this thread and moving it to the geocoin discussions forum. Please refer to that thread for any input on the geocoin. Link to comment
