+icefall5 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I found a cache with geocoins for prizes. Are geocoins trackable like TB's and you have to place them somewhere else? Or are they just prizes? Quote Link to comment
+Teamhawaii1981 & blueicyrose Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Both. They can be trackable like TB's, some even have special icons associated with them like the Jeeps. Others are simply trade items. They might be numbered but they are not trackable. Describe it and we can tell you. Quote Link to comment
+Kai Team Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 When in doubt, assume they are trackable. Many owners have goals for their coins that are just like those for Travel Bugs. Better to be safe than sorry. The right thing to do is to go to the website listed on the coin and try to log it. If there's no website address, or it can't be logged at the website given, then it's not trackable and you may keep it. Otherwise, log it in, read it's goal, and move it towards its goal!

+The Blind Acorn Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Doesn't appear to be trackable... You should visit the Geocoin Forum for more information on the various coins etc. Quote Link to comment
+Faith the Aquariaqueen Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 If I found it, I would have thought it was a very nice signature item. Quote Link to comment
+Cyclometh Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Here's a pic of it: Neat coin. Just as a tip, you shouldn't post pics of trackable objects with their "ID" visible. This one doesn't seem to have that- the number in the picture looks more like a serial number, not a tracking number. The reason for this is that if you post an image with the tracking ID visible, anyone can log it, and people can "steal" the coin by using the ID number to log it as a find even if they don't have possession of the thing. Like I said, you didn't do that with this one, it seems. But if you find another one or have questions about it, it'd be best to "blur" or crop any tracking ID number before posting a picture. Great find, BTW! Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Those are not trackable. The Sunshine Gang just went on a road trip and left their coin in caches along the way. I hope you traded up or even and now you have a nice sig item. Quote Link to comment
