+Team LightningBugs Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 (Stands up) Hi, I'm Jennifer. It all started early this year when I decided I wanted a 2004 USA geocoin. I bought a few other coins hoping to trade for one, but didn't have any luck right away. Then I got involved in a coin buying group and things just snowballed from there. Now I have 7 outstanding trades that are waiting for coins to be produced and/or delivered, and I can barely lift my coin binder. Oh sure, I finally got my 2004 USA last September, but there's just so much more to it now than that. I'm in too deep. I'll take (gulp) one GAA. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) ...Another thought - Can we measure addiction by the weight of your coin album?... I still throw all mine in a box. There must still be hope. Edited October 31, 2005 by Renegade Knight Quote Link to comment
+Evil Chicken Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) Hi, my name is Linda... A month ago, my bank account looked much better. Within 4 weeks, I've gone from socking away money for next year's Christmas Club to purchasing coins (doubles when I can - ya know, to trade sometime.) My paypal activity has gone through the roof! Those doubles haunt me - I really should trade some of em. I will, I will! Soon. (just not yet!) Please add me to the list for two. *Sigh* Edited October 31, 2005 by Evil Chicken Quote Link to comment
+GBOTS Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) Hi I'm Lynda and someone said the word "collect" and that's all it ever takes for me. Only THIS time, somehow....Richard ( the one who has, up to now, stood on the sidelines and kept me from getting in too deep) got sucked in, too mwa ha ha ha Edited October 31, 2005 by GBOTS Quote Link to comment
+Blue J Wenatchee Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hi. My name is Jon. SOme people refer to me as Blue J Wenatchee. I started back in June after going to a presentation by Bruce Bjornstad. I have been addicted since and hope to have found 200 caches before the snow flies. I started with a 2005USA Geocoin and now have coins from all the western states and Canada. Please help me. The only thing I can figure to help me is if I can find someone to trade my 450 Beanie Babies for some Geocoins. I can supply a list of Beanies I have for trade (ALL OF THEM). THank you and i am studying the 12 step program listed above. Ok Ok...... Put me on the list for: 1 Copper 1 Brass 1 Gold 1 Pewter 1 Silver 1 Of the LE series 1 "members only" coin 25 of the wooden nickles and 1 worry stone to help lower my stress while I figure out how I'm going to pay for all this without loosing the rent money I would like to use the same list. Only I better have 2 worry stones. One for each hand. Quote Link to comment
+Night_Hawk Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 That reminds me I never "officially" stated how many I'd like.... ALL OF THEM!!!! But since that's out of my budget I guess I'll settle for 2 Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) If you ever actually make these coins I hope that you go back over this thread and make sure to reserve a couple to sell to each of us who posted here. You KNOW that we really do want to buy the darn thing. Please remember us. Don't let some eBay seller buy them all up and leave us to cry. Edited November 1, 2005 by Thrak Quote Link to comment
+Mystery Ink Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 My opinon.... On the front: Hi my name is....., I am a geocoin addict. On my way to the 12 step program needs to go on the back with I fell of the wagon. IMO That would sound much better Suggestions submitted, thank you. I think this is really looking good. I am sure if we make enough, the price should come down and more can afford to have a few to both drop off and keep in there pocket to remind them when they start breaking out in a cold sweat while at work. Being afraid of missing an issue. I like the suggested modifications Quote Link to comment
+M&M Hunter Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Looks great!! I guess that means that if I want some I'll have to admit that I'm addicted. I'll have to admit that I spend every spare minute of my day surfing the forums trying to make sure that I don't miss out. I'll have to admit that I've spent more than I should have on these pretty shiny things. I'll have to admit that I go through withdrawal if I go more than a day without buying something new or making a trade. It is a good thing that my husband is as addicted as I am or he might have me committed. Quote Link to comment
+DancesWithMoose Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I am DancesWithMoose and I am not addicted. I bought my first coin one month ago and I now have personal coins on order as well as having 65 in my possession and 103 on order. But I could stop at any time.... I just don't want to. Besides eating, drinking and sleeping are highly over-rated! Quote Link to comment
SCP-173 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 ...I now have personal coins on order as well as having 65 in my possession and 103 on order. 103!? I think we have a winner. Quote Link to comment
+DancesWithMoose Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 OK Maybe it is a little sick. So I guess I qualify to buy several GAA coins..... Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Ben here It's ok ladycacher I was just trying to throw something out quick and fast to get idea's going. I borrowed the logo from the Alchoholic Annonymous website & did a little photoshopping. Don't feel bad Just so you know, you cannot use copyrighted material without express written permission. Coins designs should be original. Quote Link to comment
+IntotheWoods Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Please put me down for 3. I currently own a grand total of ONE geocoin, which I've owned since Saturday, and I'm already addicted! Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I see that you have started a different thread with updated art and actual pricing. There is currently no link available for pre-ordering the coin but you did state on the other thread that all orders will be made through thecachingplace.com It's too bad that you aren't making a small batch of these that are numbered so that those of us who posted here in the original thread could get the limited edition numbered coins - perhaps limited to 2 per person who supported the idea originally. The coin is looking good. I hope to be able to snag a couple before they sell out when the orders go live. Quote Link to comment
+RustyBeerCan Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Thrak thats a Great Idea! There are 54 original posters in the club as of Now! (if they wanna be) It sounds like a good Number for a run of Limited Edition GAA Geocoins Can this done done ? Golden? Numbered? LE Geocoins for the first Ones to join the club or Would that be like falling off the wagon and onto the busy Highway If I get Anybody's hopes up for a LE Geocoin only to have them Crushed, Im truly sorry and will take all the blame, As a member of Geocoin Addicts Anonymous, I will feel the pain too!

+Caching Widow Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) I think you should all kick the geocoin habit and start collecting pins. They're cheaper and you can display them proudly nearly anywhere on your body. I know where you can score some. MyGeoSwag.com Edited November 1, 2005 by Caching Widow Quote Link to comment
+Team Maddie UK Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I will second the suggestion or will it be third it? The first few of us that admitted our addiction deserve recognition. Even AA members get a pin every so often. Wait a minute thats if they quit!!!!! what to do? what to do? If I quit collecting can I have a special LE? Quote Link to comment
+FlyinV Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) We fourth it! We'll take 2 LE's and 10 Regular's (2+10=12... one for each step ) Edited November 1, 2005 by FlyinV Quote Link to comment

+chrisgun Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 It's soooooo nice to know there are other folks just like me out there.... I thought I had a difficult time explaining why I was outdoors geocaching all day... everyday.... But now, stuck in front of my computer ordering coins? My friends would have me sent to the Funny Farm if I told them. I am NOT an addict, NOT in denial... But I'll take 4, please Quote Link to comment
+Ladycacher Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Ok everybody, I am proud of myself. Not only did I drive 6 hours to Kansas today, I got 9 caches (one includes a event)!!!!! I was parinoid that I was missing a coin....and the relief I felt to find out I didn't was overwhelming. I had a great day! I even got to show my entire collection of coins! Quote Link to comment

Bjornian Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 The Coin I am making for the group is limited addition :-) and is trackable (though I am stil ltlaking to sites about which one). AND CAN ONLY BE OWNED BY THE MEMBERS OF GAA. There will be few made (probably around 100 or 200). The extras are for future members of GAA and the GAA cache I have plans for :-).

+Wij Drie Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I'm not addicted. I'm just here for a good beer and some 'gezelligheid'. I can go whenever i want. But i'll miss some coins then. What's step 1? tot cache, team Wij Drie Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 If you folks are seriously so addicted that you're stuck in front of your computers ordering coins, then perhaps geocaching is not meant to be represented by a coin? GO OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!! This might take more than 12 steps! Quote Link to comment
+Team Maddie UK Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I would go outside but it is raining for the 18th day in a row:( Am planning on having a relief addict do this for me when the sun comes out again. Any volunteers? Lynn Quote Link to comment

I waiting for 'someone' to come along and claim that neither party truly represents the GAA's of the world and that they have no right to provide these coins. Well, since there are going to be two versions of the coin, I guess I'll order both for the benefit of the folks taking the huge financial stake in having the coins made. I would hate to leave them in the difficult position of finding someone to sell the extra coins to. I don't really want the additional coins you understand. It's just my part in helping out.
