+GBOTS Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I have a geocat attached to my handbag.... Quote Link to comment
+slowdownracer Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Yep - a GeoNut, because I am one. I wanted to carry a coin around in case I ran into another geocacher, but I didn't want to damage any coin with color. The GeoNut is solid metal, no color, I keep it in my wallet. Quote Link to comment
+nfa Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Since the day that they arrived, I have been carrying an NFA geocoin. Jamie - NFA Quote Link to comment

+The Blind Acorn Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Not yet.... Hoping that I can turn one of my PC's into a keychain.... Quote Link to comment
+Kidatheart Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Normally carry a coin I swapped for in cache, a Cetic Cross and a religous quote. I am not big into religion but I love the design of the coin. I also have a spin coin and Isle of Man coin that I have in my work bag that I normally carry with me. Forunately there is three cachers at my job and some others at work that just think it is an interesting thing Quote Link to comment
+nicolo Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Yup, have a GeoRattle on my keychain Quote Link to comment
+tiki Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) I have a Yawp TikiCoin converted into a zipper pull on my camera bag. He gets a lot of mileage! I carry him around because, well..., because I think he's nifty! (and he's great for converting muggles into geocachers) Tiki PS - Sorry if I have shocked any die hard collecters by: 1 - drilling a hole in my coin, and 2 - letting it aquire a cool natural patina by hiking miles with it in the rain!

+Renegade Knight Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I used to carry a German Coin around. It was my lucky coin. One day while at the arcade I accidently spent it in a machine. Later I figured out what happened and called the company. They found the coin and gave it back. I quit carrying it daily after that but I still have it. That coin was given to me by my grandfather when he got back from a trip to Germany. He has since passed on. The coin now has a legacy that goes with it. No geocoins yet but you never know. I may hang one from my rear view mirror that comes to me with something of a legacy already. Actually I think I will do just that. Now it's just a question of which one. Quote Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Yep, I carry one of my regular and one of my LE Gold Admin Bricks around with me in my pocket. If you see me, you can log it if you write down the numbers yourself. Quote Link to comment
+ScoutingWV Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I carry a Good Turn coin from the BSA in my pocket, and I keep a 2005 Compass Rose, a Cav Scout Raven, and a Groundspeak Volunteer coin in the bag with my GPS and swag. That bag is always in my car or in my luggage when I travel. Quote Link to comment
ATMouse Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I carried a paper and tape copy of our event coin until I got the real thing. Now I carry the real thing. Quote Link to comment

+Marky Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 There's someone in our area that has his Moun10Bike version 1 with him always. I used to carry one in my wallet, but traded it away and haven't put one back. Quote Link to comment
+MetroGT Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 mtn-man's admin would make a great zipper pull.... you already have the holes too Quote Link to comment
+big rick Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 No, I carry at least 2 one in my pocked and sometimes another around my neck in a silver bezel. Quote Link to comment

+Anthus Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I keep an Anthus Firefighter and a Decoder near my computer at work. I like how Tiki keeps one on his camera bag. Think I may do the same with my Decoder since it already has the hole in it. Thanks for the idea! ...Anthus Quote Link to comment
Dancingfool Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I keep one of my original Dancingfool coins with me. I use it as a ball marker when I play golf as well. My coin has shown little wear and gets rattled around a lot. I like to show it to friends who ask about my "odd" hobby. Quote Link to comment
+IC1 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I carry a Cointown coin always... I allow others to log it when I meet them out on the trails... Quote Link to comment
+oldnavy59 Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 I carry my 2005 Compass Rose when Im caching and sometimes just in my pocket but I am thinking about adding it to my Key Chain I wonder how the finish will hold up? Quote Link to comment
+IC1 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Forgot to mention that I keep the coin in a hard platic case so that the finish will hld up.... Quote Link to comment
+Rattlingcrew Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think I'll start carrying the geonut coin, just because it fits. I almost always have two or three coins with me. Usually what's newest. I carry a Crown Royal bag with fifty or so coins in it in my Geo-Diesel, just in case I run into a cacher and I can make their day with a load of numbers. Glen Quote Link to comment
BomberJohn Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) I carry a Spin geocoin. Love to show it to those that don't collect or see too many coins. Also use it as a personal coin that folks I meet and know can "discover it". Of course, they must touch it to claim it. Edited May 14, 2006 by BomberJohn Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Only when caching. Then I carry a bunch (Gotta have'em to log'em) Quote Link to comment
+MissLatitude Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I carry a Mission Impossible coin made for the Mission Impossible Event that took place May 13th. I started carrying it when the coins arrived about a week ago. Quote Link to comment
+Team 5150 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Only when caching. Then I carry a bunch (Gotta have'em to log'em) What do you mean by that? Quote Link to comment
+guinea gal Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Yup, but never the same one. : ) I feel bad that after I receive a geocoin in the mail, it usually goes right in my book, and hardly ever gets looked at or enjoyed until the next time a coin goes in the book! So when they arrive, I put them in my pocket and usually take them to work with me and line them on my desk so I can appreciate them. Some people have asked about them, now I have regulars who come to my desk to check out what the coin of the day is. Someone on the other side of the same floor keeps military challenge coins on his desk. I think the same people check them both out! ATMouse, stop bragging! The rest of us NYers are drooling already!!!! 4 more days....! Quote Link to comment
+marlin01 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) I always carry one of my personal coins. I do so in case I need to show someone what one is, or to give it to someone who has done me a favor. Yesterday I gave one to a good Samaritan who helped me out when my car broke down. He would not take money, but was grateful for the coin. Edited May 16, 2006 by marlin01 Quote Link to comment
