Elvis Goes Geocaching

[+Lemon Fresh Dog]

Hello all,

The world's first crushed velvet geocoin is about to be released. It will feature the "King" Elvis out for a geocaching adventure. The coin is metal with one side having a velvet covering.

 

They are extremely limited and only available in caches.....

 

sorry..... I just had to get that out of my system.

 

Please post other absurd coin ideas here.

He did indeed leave the building, but not the cache - he took that with him ;p

He's making a return engagement by popular request.

Thank you, Thank you very much

 

Elvis has been spotted in New Zealand, working in a local car wash, true story!

It's true, the Elvis coins are all over the place! Why, I was taking a bathroom break between caches today and what should I find sitting on the john but an Elvis... coin.

[+nielsenc]

2 of each.

Elvis is King!! Don't step on my blue suede coin....

[+blazerfan]

I was all excited about an Elvis coin...

 

I've got a pretty good coin idea but it will have to wait till I have some time at home to mock up the design.

[+Lemon Fresh Dog]

Okay people! This is a *joke* thread!

 

If someone actually creates and Elvis coin;

 

1) you should be legally careful

2) you owe me one!

[+LadeBear68]

Why would you post a fictitious thread when you didn't make or plan on putting out the Elvis coin?

Hahahah great joke. I was a bit confused with the velvet covering

Maybe we should follow this one up with a "Sense of Humor - Cache It!" geocoin?

[+Big JohnP]

Anyway, Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has just left the building..............

[+RustyBeerCan]

Please put Me down for one set of the limited edtion DinnerPlate Geocoins

 

blue, blue, blue suede shoes

[+UtChaz & Family]

On a serious note, My wife is NUTS about Elvis. Now that the idea is stuck in her head she wants one?

Anyone interested?

[+Kealia]

Funny idea - love the velvet side (but only in black)!

 

All kidding aside (to answer utchaz) I'd have no interest in this if it became a reality. What possible connection to caching could you make?

 

And this comes from somebody who was born and raised an Elvis fan.

 

Now, if you were going to make an Angelina Jolie coin........

[+Windrose]

What possible connection to caching could you make?

Well there is a cacher in Michigan named Wee Elvis. But he's not into coin collecting, so he won't be making a coin any time soon.

[+UtChaz & Family]

Legally I don't know, I'm not a lawyer so it'd be foolish to listen to me...

But Vegas does have plenty of impersonators getting paid to be Elvis without paying his estate for it.

 

I don't know about a GC connection Kealia but IMO perhaps the king would have liked doing all of this and that's enough to make it so. It really isn't always about connections is it? Sometime you do it because it's fun, that's why we started caching anyhow. Perhaps it could be something along the lines of Cacher's who are Elvis fans?

 

Just a thought for the masses, not meaning to flame anyone.

[+nielsenc]

Just like Dogs.

 

How about this, it isnt the Muggles, its Elvis!

 

There, a Geocaching Tie-in.

 

Put me down for 2 .

Soon to be followed by the cachers who breathe air coin. And no, this isn't a flame, just a comment.

Just what I've always wanted, a trackable "Blue Suede Shoe", in Extra Limited edition.

If you buy those I'm sure you'll also be interested in the cachers who collect pennies coin. It may look like a regular penny, but don't be fooled! These geocaching related collectibles have an authentic "g" above Lincoln's head! You can paypal me a low, low $3/coin and I'll mail them out tomorrow.

Cool! How much for the steel limited edition?

P.S. Are they GC.com trackable?

[+blazerfan]

Well I've thought for a long time... and I've come up with the ultimate geocoin. Some of us cachers don't always find the cache on our first try... so we ask a fellow cacher for assistance... so I bring you the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HELP! Geocoin

 

[+UtChaz & Family]

Ummmm Yeah, what he said.

Don't know how those four spell out help but I'll buy that.

 

This has definitly turned in to an "Interesting" string

 

Oh yeah, what happened to Elvis?

[+pdxmarathonman]

Ummmm Yeah, what he said.

You're not familiar with the Lads from Liverpool? Just how young are you?

[+blazerfan]

Oh yeah, what happened to Elvis?

well he did say to post absurd coin ideas here

 

I think the HELP! geocoin would sell a few hundred... at least I tried to come up with a way to make it fit into geocaching

[+graylling]

A Star Trek coin??? To boldly go where no cacher has gone before. I'm sure the voyages of the Enterprise included a cache or two. Think of the possibilities......

[+KraftyCacher]

I need one of those Elvis coins for my cache in Rochester. NY

 

--ELVIS IS HERE---->ELVIS

[+LSUFan]

And they said I was crazy for making a working lava lamp geocoin.

[Blodlizrd]

Elvis is here. Elvis McLeod that is. This is about my favorite place in the world.

 

Now back on subject... my DNF coin. No, it's not like the one that Marky is making. No matter how often you go to your mailbox, you will not find this coin. Taking preorders now.

 

And I think a Paris Hilton coin would be about the funniest thing I'd evar seen. The only thing funnier would be Nicole Richie before the drugs on the obverse and after the drugs on the reverse.

[Blodlizrd]

Now that I have access to my image editing suite at home here is my graphical entry in the absurd coin category.

 

 

The 50th Anniversary of Waffle House GeoCoin!!!!

 

EDIT: Oh yeah... it'd have to have "Scattered, Smothered, Covered, Chunked, Topped & Diced" around the edge too.

[ParentsofSAM]

A local cacher around here (SecondBrother) would be interested in that coin, he is the regional manager of Waffle House. His caches contain lots of cool WH stuff.

Check out the coin from The Federation.

that is the error coin-- Lol

Shockingly this general coin idea has become a reality, though not with the same art. I guess no idea is absurd enough to not become a real coin.

Its true... they don't spell anything. Originally they posed spelling 'help' in semaphore... but the photographer thought the arm positions didn't make for a good picture so they improvised. The picture as we see it today is also reversed. If you hold it to a mirror they kindof spell LPUS (help us?). Great coin material if you ask me.

Very interesteting indeed.

I was kind of interested in the "GeoCacher's Who Breath Air" concept.

Would it be any different that the Scew Geocoins idea...

But then again Elvis's Blue Sueade shoe sounds like something that would be awesome...

 

This thread sure has some good ideas, seriously.

Why are we always limiting ourselves and making up rules when there is no need to?

It's all about the fun and hell of it, why limit that?

Okay, I'm seriously considering making a Cachers who Breathe Air coin after that last post. If someone wants to help me out (primarily with shipping them) send me an email. Yes, I'm serious... I think. It all depends on if someone else who's sick of thinly veiled geocaching tie-ins wants to help.
