Here is the John Harrison Geocoin.

Yet another poor "geo"-coin. See the Sumatra geocoin and the Orion geocoin and the Feng Shui geocoin threads about how people will try to sell anything on a geocoin. Don't we as cachers have better morals about selling useless/lame/crappy/unispired/costly geocoins to other cachers. I don't mean to sound rude but enough is enough. Let's start keeping the geocoins related to the hobby so it will last for years to come and not leave a sour commercial taste in our mouths.

I like goecoins with geo-historical themes. Sent you an email to add me to the list.

Lets make a coin dedicated to Stephen Rienhold Guston. He was a steamship mechanic that on a ship that sailed somewhere long ago using maps with lat and long on them.

 

I hope you make your million on your series of coins.

I agree, but I think he knows about the Feng Shui coin since that's 1 of the 3 coins he is doing at once.

As John Harrison was an English man, this coin would have been far better conceived by cachers from the UK. The way I see it, making coins celebrating the historic events of another country is a bit cheap, so I shall be passing it by.

I understand where you're coming from, however, no one from the UK came up with such a coin. Furthermore, if someone from the UK came up with a geocoin, or any product for that matter, honoring a famous American, I would see it as a compliment. It would re-iterate the fact that our two countries are no longer enemies but allies.

 

Finally, it was never about England but rather the history of navigation.

Let's remember that people don't have to buy if they don't want to. People buy for different reasons

When are we ever going to get a unique icon for these?

I received this geocoin as a gift, but can't find the manufacturer anywhere to get the activation coin. Anyone know who makes these coins? I've tried Coin Codes, Oak Coins and Hog Codes with no luck. Any other big ones I'm missing?

I think these are pretty neat coins. They may not have any relevance to people living in areas without bodies of water. I am looking into getting a nautical themed coin and associating it's tracking number with my kayak. I'll spray paint the tracking number on my kayak, and when there is a geocaching event on the water and I bring the kayak, other geocachers can log the coin. Also, I can use the coin as a mileage coin for whenever I have to use the kayak to get to a cache.

 

Coins and bugs are for fun, so they don't have to be strictly about geocaching.
