+Globetrotter.uk Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Ok some of us are geocache mad, so how much of a grip has it over you? I like caching, Geocoins and now I have just purchased my own " make your own opoly" game! so I need a name for it and as its places will be caches located in the uk I need to choose them wisely too. And I need to print my own money. Any suggestions greatful. Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 And I need to print my own money. Any suggestions greatful. Here's a start Quote Link to comment
+Globetrotter.uk Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 NICE ONE JOHN! BUT I THINK SOMETHING ALONG "THE BANK OF GEOCACHOPOLY" OR ROYAL BANK OF CACHES Quote Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 surely some play on the words cash and cache is in order? The Cache Bank maybe, CacheWest Bank, all money available from cache machines wordlwide.... Quote Link to comment
+Globetrotter.uk Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 I LIKE THAT IDEA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO NOMINATE A CACHE TO BE PLACED IN THE GAME? I NEED CACHES FROM THE NORTH, SOUTH AND WEST Quote Link to comment
+purple_pineapple Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 depends - do you want difficult ones or not? If I'm permitted to recommend one of my own, I would say X Marks the Spot (check through my profile, this PC is too slow to open up links...!). I would also recommend Alpha Quest Y by messe. If you want some virtuals, the Ghost Village in Tyneham is high on my list of favs, but I haven't done that many virts.... I'll try and think of some others as well! Links can be posted this evening from home PC, if you need them and someone hasn't fone it already... Quote Link to comment
+spannerman Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I have the templates and fonts for the UK notes if you want them. Let me know and I will email them to you. Quote Link to comment
Andys101 & Redfrock Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 How cool is that! Quote Link to comment
+Globetrotter.uk Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 i ALREADY HAVE THE SOFTWARE FOR FUNNY MONEY, BUT THANKS ANYWAY. Quote Link to comment
+Kryten Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) And I need to print my own money. You need a licence for that [edited for spelling] Edited March 14, 2006 by McKryton Quote Link to comment
alistair_uk Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I have the templates and fonts for the UK notes if you want them. Let me know and I will email them to you.Did you did know it is still illegal to deface the queen? You are in trouble now. Quote Link to comment
+Munkeh Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 its also illegal to scan banknotes, hence why most software will stop you from doing it Quote Link to comment
+Geo-Kate Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 its also illegal to scan banknotes, hence why most software will stop you from doing it Wow, I never knew that. I just tried to scan a £20 and got a scary message saying it is illegal to do that. I tried a few apps and got similar messages. I am only doing it out or curiousity, but am I playing with fire? I'm worried now! The cache/cash is too good to miss. How about the cashes (or cashs ) being safety depost boxes?! Quote Link to comment
+freespirit1402 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 so are park lane and mayfair going to be 5/5 caches? Quote Link to comment
+Nellies Knackers Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Fascinating! OK own up, who else has just tried to scan a tenner? Anyone know how it knows it's a banknote? I'm guessing it's something to do with non-flourescing paper. Who said you don't learn something new everyday. Quote Link to comment

I'm guessing it's something to do with non-flourescing paper. Who said you don't learn something new everyday. I am only assuming, but I think the software must be checking the scanned images against templates for colours/layout/histograms/etc. It is very clever though, I wonder what can be done to 'confuse' the software... I thnk I really would be tempting fate doing that. Who knows what data is sent in and out when the computer thinks you're trying to print money. I'll end up with Scotlad Yard banging on my door tonight! Quote Link to comment
+Nellies Knackers Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 You can get a colour copy no problem though, it must be in the twain driver. Quote Link to comment
+kbootb Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Mine scans notes just fine. But the pattern makes great fringe patterns that would make printing a convincing copy impossible. Changing tack slightly, rather than just making in a geocache related monopoly, why not go the whole hog and design, Geocache: the board game Fun for all the family when the weather's too grim to go out.

+little-miss-naughty Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 cant say i have ever really tryed to scan money but i have played monopaly an it sounds like a good idea. LMN Quote Link to comment
+Hillhappy1 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 If you scan bank notes for monopoly do you go straight to jail, not passing go and not collecting £200 on the way? Beware of which caches you nominate for the game. We don't want houses or even worse a hotel built on the site of them do we? Quote Link to comment
+Woody's Wanderers Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Maybe you could buy the 'site' and then plant micro caches instead of build houses and regulars instead of hotels? Begs the question of which is the 'most desirable' area to cache in? (Oh no! Another can of worms!! ) Probably depends on personal preference. Quote Link to comment
+Globetrotter.uk Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Let me set things straight, firstly the software I got for the game has a design all I needed was a bank name and someone gave me a good one. Secondly this thread is about designing the Geocache-opoly game, Please lets keep to it rather than ranting on about what legal or not about scanning notes. I am nearly finshed with the design of the game and if others what ago making their own email me and I will let you know where I picked up the game half price. Quote Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Let me just check something... playing this game isn't going to come out of your caching time, right ? Quote Link to comment
+wizard1974uk Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Let me just check something... playing this game isn't going to come out of your caching time, right ? You're not saying we should play the game when we should be working? Perish the thought Quote Link to comment
