+crake Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I recall seeing some interest in a Rhode Island coin, but either there wasn't an organized club or something else - search is still broken. Anyway, I didn't think there was a coin. Well, being that I have one foot in Texas and the other in Rhode Island, I'm all up for making a RI coin. I drafted up artwork tonight for a pretty cool coin, but before I went any further I wanted to double check here that there wasn't already something in the works. If there IS interest I'm willing to drive the effort... somewhere I'll find the time - Rhode Island has GOT to be represented!!! Link to comment

+crake Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) No bubble bursting here! I'm just glad to see that a RI coin exists. Was this part of an organization or was it done by an individual? How long ago was it made? Edit: 2006 you say? Hmmm - well I don't want to step on toes.

+Damenace Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 No that coin was done in 05, and fellow addicts please correct me if I am wrong, but I do belive that there was no organization that did that coin, I belive it was a personal. Link to comment
+Damenace Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 And since we are on topic of what coins to make, how is that Hawaii coin coming along that was talked about awhile ago ( you know I would love to provide links, but you have heard enough about the SEARCH engine not working).

I am talking with somebody that lives there about a coin. He and his wife are interested and wanting to make the coin, they just never knew about the forums or geocoins. I will keep you posted.

+elmosmelmo Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) KEWL! A hawaii coin! I was going to buy one from the forbidden zone but I HATE people making profits off of coins when they just list them on the market place and not in the forums. I would love to see a REAL hawaii coin come out. Edited January 16, 2006 by elmosmelmo Link to comment

+NH geobear Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 As I'm from New Hampshire, I am very interested in being involved with creating a coin that would represent the state! We don't have an official state organization here, so it might be one that runs along the lines of a coin that is a little more personal...or not...I am open to suggestions! Thanks.

I'm actually quite proud of the fact that I got a 3D-like image using a 2D die I also recently got the hang of using the recessed areas to trap the aging chemical to create dark lines and other detail without using enamel. So expect to see more of this on future coins Link to comment

+crake Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Aren't you in Texas? Did you consult with any RI cachers before producing a coin for them? *sigh* I'm going to put this to rest right now. My family has been in RI for over 50 years (Little Compton). So I am just as much from RI as I am from Texas... actually more RI than Texas given that I've only been a Texan for 7 years, but I've been eating Grays Ice Cream my entire life. And for those who don't know what I'm talking about, stop by Grays in Tiverton Four Corners. While you're there visit Milk & Honey Bazaar... possibly the finest collection of cheese I've ever seen. But anyway... So to answer your question. Yes I did consult people from RI - I consulted myself, and my family. I'm proud to be able have this coin represent the state. I'm also proud to represent my other home in Texas when I can. Link to comment
+crake Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 I was wondering that too. Also, there's no reference to geocaching in the design. Pass Its my philosophy that trackables by the simple fact that they are trackable are by their nature associated with geocaching. Think of it as a GI Joe or stuffed animal with a travel bug tag. Its the fact that they are trackable that makes it associated with geocaching. The only difference is the coin has the travel bug tag embedded into the design. Looking back, I could have spelled out something else in the flags I suppose. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20. Link to comment
