+FlyinV Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Similar to the March GCC coin! Link to comment
+BackBrakeBilly Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Similar to the March GCC coin! Sorry, I haven't seen the March GCC coin until now but I didn't mean to "Step" on any toes. Link to comment
+BackBrakeBilly Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 How many pointless geocoins can the collecting community endure? No, the "Pointless" geocoin is a future project of ours. Just for the record, it will be round. <_< Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Another one? Sigh. Why don't you submit some of your ideas to that new coin club sometime. It's linked over off the GGA forums. The link in this foum was removed. Link to comment

+BackBrakeBilly Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Sorry, I am not a member of the new coin club. You don't have to be to submit artwork. Sorry, part of the fun of coming up with the coins is playing with the artwork and doing the work ourselves. Link to comment
+DresselDragons Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Similar to the March GCC coin! Sorry, I haven't seen the March GCC coin until now but I didn't mean to "Step" on any toes. No toes stepped on here...we didn't design it; we just entered the contest, and won. Link to comment
+The Blind Acorn Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 my question is how many coins are you going to make??? LOL I enjoy your designs, but really how do you afford it? Is this becoming a business for you? Link to comment
+nicolo Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 How many pointless geocoins can the collecting community endure? Yikes! Less caffeine maybe ...? Man, when I post my new coin sometime next month, I'll make sure to add an "I don't care if you don't like it." to my post, yowzah! Link to comment
+BackBrakeBilly Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 my question is how many coins are you going to make??? LOL I enjoy your designs, but really how do you afford it? Is this becoming a business for you? Nope, no business in coins other than having fun for us. As for how many coins we are doing or have done, As of now I have only done two that have been delivered, My personal BBB coin and the Tennessee Microcoin and the Phone-A-Friend coin is the 3rd and it is suppose to ship in the next few days so 3 in 4 months. I know of more than a few folks on these forums that have done quite a few more than I have in the last 4 months. Thanks. Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 So the puzzle coin (4 coin set) and the 50 state micro coins don't count all of a sudden? lol! Link to comment
+BackBrakeBilly Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) So the puzzle coin (4 coin set) and the 50 state micro coins don't count all of a sudden? lol! The Puzzle coins are still being worked on (Sample coins being minted now), Not payed for or delivered and as you well know the 50 states micro was just a idea that got pretty much shot down. so yes they don't count. If you want to keep up this useless banter AG, feel free but I am through trying to defend me having fun. Now back to the coins, the dieart is being done as we speak and there will be a couple of minor changes. As soon as it is ready I will post it here. Thanks.

+Frisco05 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Very nice coin. This is relavant to geocaching for me because my dog has been trained to sniff out tupperware hiding in the woods. When we get close, we just turn him loose and he usaually digs it up. Link to comment

Hey, that one of the things that gave me this idea. A friend of ours actually has a poodle that can find a ammo can in the woods and yes, I have seen this first hand and wouldn't believe it unless I did! Thanks! P.S. I thought the bloodhound looked better on the coin than the poodle did. (No offence meant to those great poodles out there) Link to comment

Just do what you want, the market'll let you know if it's interested ( hopefully people'll be interested in the geo-rattle for my granddaughter, lil seeker, next month or so ) I'll probably order two, one of each, when all the details come out.

+bikinibottomfeeders Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I don't mind all the coins I just think you ought to give back to those that have ordered off of you too! yeah billy I noticed that you didn't order any of our Indiana micro coins! just joshing ya man!(no offense meant to anyone named josh!)

+Kealia Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 With the amount of coins coming out now maybe you could do something that's not so close to something that already exists? The design looks ALOT like the second in the Canine Cachers series (below). Not saying you knew about these, but can I suggest you go another route? Link to comment
+robert Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 if the next one in the series is wabbit season, i'm in. Link to comment
+Ladycacher Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) So if GCC is making a cache hunters coin and Kealia is doing the Canine Cachers coin, do we need another one that is almost the same or same idea? I don't care either way really if it's made or not, just my 2 cents here. Speaking of the Canine Series, when is the next one coming out? Edited February 20, 2006 by Ladycacher Link to comment

That's two different coins that this one apparently resembles. Have we finally reached the point of impossible-to-make-something-unique ? Link to comment

ParentsofSAM Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I like the price. I would buy some just because of that. Link to comment
+Hula Bum Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 In keeping in check with the guidelines (we haven't made a final decision on certain aspects), we will keep this off the boards for the time being. Link to comment

+TheAlabamaRambler Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 LOL - "It's all about the numbers" - cool idea! I think I'll have that added to my commemorative geocoin for the GeoWoodStock4 event, where it really IS all about the numbers! I will be on a team trying for a new 24-hour world record (actually 268 would win that, we're trying for 333) and we'll then try for 1000 the week before the event! If anyone is worried about it being 'only' about the numbers, do as I have and quit logging them online! Ed Link to comment
