+Cryptid Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 When I drop a coin or TB, and use the "Dropped off any Travel Bugs?" option on the bottom of the post a log page, I have (and I'm sure a lot of you do to) over 175 Coins to scroll through. Has anyone come up with a cool idea on how to log dropped Coins/TBs without having to scroll through all of of the coins? Quote Link to comment
+The Blind Acorn Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 um no, but I wish there was a way to keep all of my coins in say like a "coin purse" so that when i want to reclaim then I could reclaim one number and the system would reclaim all the individual numbers... maybe they will consider this in the future.

+Kealia Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 The idea I heard for this was: Create a cache called "My coin cache" - but do not check the box that says it's active. Log a note on that page and drop all of your coins in there. The ywill be out of yoru inventory and only show up in the cache that you created. You could do the same thing for an archived cache as well. I haven't done this yet, but keep meaning to. Quote Link to comment

Other variants similar to what Kealia does are: a) If you have an archived cache, just park your coins/TBs there (virtually, of course) Just mark them as "location unknown" (You can retrieve them later when you want them...) I use because then no mileage acrues to the coin or TB until I actually want to place the coin/TB in a real cache. Edited April 27, 2006 by Let's Look Over Thayer Quote Link to comment
+bob393 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Wow I don't activate my personal collection so I never had that problem but boy could it be! Quote Link to comment
+Shilo Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Glad you brought this up as I was thinking of activating my coin collection. This never crossed my mind until now. Thanks Quote Link to comment

Took all of 5 minutes and now it will be much easier to actually see what bugs I have in my posession that need to be moved. Quote Link to comment
+The Fun Group Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I think this thread just answered a question I was going to post. While sifting through all the Moun10Bike coins to see which ones were in the wild, I noticed that the vast majority of the ones not listed as in a cacher's possession, were in "unknown locations" or were in archived caches, usually event caches. I guess a lot of cachers park their coins rather than carry them in their inventory. Quote Link to comment

+tokencollector Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) On the right hand side of the TB home page, there is a drop-down box that usually says recalculate mileage. If you click on that box, one of the options is move to mark bug missing. Select that option and clifk go. You then are asked at the top of the next page "are you sure that you want to move mark bug missing" Select yes, and it will be moved. Edited April 28, 2006 by tokencollector Quote Link to comment
