+GEOJuice Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 G'Day fellow cachers from all over this great country of ours (VOTING FRENZIEE) I'm looking to purchase Geocoins from Canada ONLY. Provincial or Personal. Not interessted in the Canadian Geocoin...I have four already. will pay fair price, and through Paypall. PM or email Quote Link to comment
+Olar Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 As far as I know the Canadian Geocoin is the only one in existence. I have not heard of any provincial or even personal. A few months ago four geocoin collectors from the U.S. (Georgia I think) decided that Ontario should have it's own coin. They went ahead and designed one and proceeded with the minting and selling on a first come first served basis. They sold out in a matter of minutes. I do not consider these as true Ontario coins. I'm yet to hear if any Canadians managed to purchase some of them or if anyone has ever seen one. If you dig down through this Canada forum you will find the topic thread that covered the subject. Cheers, Olar Quote Link to comment
+blackjack65 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Many of us from Quebec got that Ontario GeoCoin made by a team of 4 out of which 2 were born in Ontario, and one still lives there. It looks very nice, is trackable, was reasonably priced and was delivered promptly. There is also another personnal GeoCoin that boast to be the 1st Ontario GeoCoin. The GeoCaching Quebec association will come out with it's own GeoCoin soon. BeerMan-Qc came out with a personnal GeoCoin is the fall. It looks like a Beer Bottle Cap. ;-) Search the GeoCoin forum for more details. The Search feature is broken, but you can use CTRL-F, on each page, with the keywords Ontario and BeerMan.

+dogbreathcanada Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 vigps.com made their own coin. It is quite striking. They have photographs of it on their site. Quote Link to comment
+Binrat Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I got 4 of the Ontario Coins, woo hoo.......but they are spoken for. Look through the Coin Forums, if I recall there is a Manitoba Coin, Alberta South(GAS), and Maritime Geocaching coins. Binrat Quote Link to comment
+fizbot Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I found a Calgary coin too and Res2100 has a personal coin. Quote Link to comment
+blackjack65 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 The same people that came out with the original Canadian geocoin are going to come out soon with a new gc.com trackable Canadian geocoin. Quote Link to comment
+res2100 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) I found a Calgary coin too and Res2100 has a personal coin. Ours isn't a personal coin, it's a provincial coin for Ontario. If it was a personal coin, you can bet that there would be a bunny on one side. Our 2005 Ontario Geocoin is all sold out now. Some other coins I have seen mentioned from people in Canada are: Beerman (2 different ones?) from Quebec JWID from Ontario I hear there's a new Calgary coin in production too.
