pay_it_forward Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 The Above coin is in production and will be available in mid December I am Told. It is track-able on Geocaching.com and has a custom icon. This coin is for people in the community that give back to the community. If you know of someone who gives back to the community (that does not only mean the GCing community they could volunteer in other areas of their life, or give back in some significant way) Please email through my profile here, so that they can get considered for a free gift coin when they become available. If you would be willing to hide personal caches for other cachers in your local area that deserve some thanks for paying it forward please contact me. 300 of these are being minted NONE of them will be sold! Thanks PIF Quote Link to comment
Go-mad-Cow Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Go JayBee really deserves one of these. He has been working on the Grand Experiment for almost a full year now. He is responsible for getting Geocoins into the hands of novice collectors with little or no profit. I would also like to nomimate Damenace, who has been more than generous over the past year with creating limited edition coins for local events and helping the community overall.

pay_it_forward Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 My Nomination Great plan, can someone tell me where to send her/his coin? Maybe contact him/her through their profile. Can someone who knows who she is contact me. I do not need to know who she is, you can hide a cache for her/him/them with a coin in it and then they can get their coin. Quote Link to comment
pay_it_forward Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks to the folks that have sent emails and PM re TGF, I have been assured that she will find one of these coming her way as soon as they get here from the mint. There does seem to be a fair amount of confusion about what I mean by hiding caches, so I have created this handy PDF file that will be included in the package being sent to all ofthe people hiding coins. It explains what hiding a cache involves. Thanks PIF P.S. there are still roughly 200 coins waiting nominations, so get them in. Quote Link to comment

G-m-C I agree completely. These two have done a wonderful service for all cachers. I'd like to add Scaw to that list, too for getting coins out and about overseas as well. Quote Link to comment

ParentsofSAM Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I sent an email. Can I nominate more than 1 person, I have thought of some other that deserve a coin. You can nominate as many people as you wish. OK I send nominations for 2 more people. Thank you so much for doing this. You should be recognized for being so generous in giving your coins to these deserving people. I challenge everyone who has sent in a nomination and who ever receives a coin to pay it forward. I promise if we all do this even in a little way everyday the world will be a better place. You never know when you will make someones day with a small gesture. Quote Link to comment

pay_it_forward Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Nominations are coming in quickly now folks, if you have someone in mind please send an email so that they can be added to the list before all the coins are gone. I would hate someone to miss out by a couple of minutes. L&L PIF Quote Link to comment
pay_it_forward Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Nominations have almost stopped. I find it hard to believe that there are that few geocachers that give back to the community. Come on, help me give these coins to people that deserve them.

+fox-and-the-hound Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Just thought of someone else. El Diablo hand crafts some gorgeous hiking staves and routinely gives them away to deserving cachers. I can only imagine how many hours go into a single staff and he just gave another one away in a "Nominate a Reviewer" contest the other day. Talk about giving back - literally! Quote Link to comment

+fox-and-the-hound Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 How about a big hoorah for AvroAir who seems to be involved in just about everything in the northeast when it comes to events and coins. Quote Link to comment
+UOTrackers Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'm going to have to nominate Fox-and-the-Hound, for selflessly designing personal Geocoins for those who cannot afford much and only asking to be paid with one of their coins! I'm sure others do this as well, I only know of Chris because he did the art for our first coin! Thanks again Chris, you know I admire your work tremendously! Quote Link to comment

+CachingCoins Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I'd like to nominate Aushiker. It may be a small thing to some, but I really appreciate his "World Release Register". He took it upon himself to do the list & keeps it up to date! Quote Link to comment

+CachingCoins Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I just discovered a website, thanks to someone here in the forums . I almost hate to mention it. If everyone buying coins started checking this site everyday, I'd be in a world of hurt! I don't know how he does it, but everyday he updates his website to include all the new coins coming out for sale. I'd like to nominate "cachegame" who maintains cachebug.blogspot Quote Link to comment
