+UOTrackers Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Can you elaborate at all on this idea of yours? Are you thinking of making a personal coin? Whats the purpose of "The button"? Quote Link to comment
+nickzeke Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yes it would be a personal coin for me. The purpose of the button is like the "Launch" button on an air craft the base would be flat and the button would be rounded and raised. Quote Link to comment
+Team Professor X Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 The button looks like the "VOTE NOW" button by elections. Or PUSH-TO-LAUNCH-ROCKET button. Both buttons causes trouble No, serious, for a geocoin it's a bit boring. But go one with your ideas Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I think you should do a little more homework first. Read the pinned threads up top. Quote Link to comment

The purpose of the button is like the "Launch" button on an air craft the base would be flat and the button would be rounded and raised. I would be happy to work with you on coming up with a design. A Pi coin has already been done, but perhaps we can work with your button some. Let me know if you'd like some help and we can go from there! Happy Thanksgiving!

gridlox Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yes it would be a personal coin for me. The purpose of the button is like the "Launch" button on an air craft the base would be flat and the button would be rounded and raised. And this would be personal to you because...? (Not being a smart a**, I'm serious) "Normally" a personal coin reflects something about the cacher making the coin. Something you like to do(beyond Geocaching [GASP! ] ), something relating to your career choice or current job, something from your past that has meaning to you, something to express your personality, or even a common theme used for your caching persona. Trust me it is not always easy to come up with something! I've yet to come up with something for my own personal coin because I just can't nail down something that I'd like to immortalize on my personal coin. I've probably gone through 15-20 different variations of different themes for my coin. Let's see, stuff that influence my personal coin design... I've always loved fast cars (NASCAR, Drag Racing, Indy Cars) & hot rods (I've owned a 69 Camaro, a 69 Chevelle, A 69 & 71 Nova, & a 71 Challenger), I'm into graphic design & art (daily job is a graphic designer for a sign shop), I'm a family man (married 19 years this past Tuesday and have a 15 yr old daughter), I'm a semi-practicing Christian (Don't attend services regularly like I should, but the beliefs are very strong in my daily walk through life), I'm a fun loving person that likes most anything that will put a smile on someones face, and last but not least I love 'possums! (OK! OK! A 41 yr old male that will buy any toy stuffed 'possum or figurine he can get his hands on!! Sue me!! [Trust Me! There isn't that much out there!! ]) So, what I am saying is don't make a coin just for the sake of making a coin. Give it some thought, put something that is truely about yourself... MAKE IT PERSONAL!! Hope this helps. D-man Quote Link to comment

Besides, the tracking number would mess up the pretty red dot. It would have to be trackable if you were to post it for it in the forums. Quote Link to comment

avroair Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Gridlox is making a good point, personal coins should be personal. PUSH-TO-LAUNCH-ROCKET button Maybe it is personal and he works for NORAD? Any ideas for the dark... I mean... backside of the coin? Quote Link to comment
+nickzeke Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Just the standard "This Coin is Traceable at http://www.geocaching.com" and the BTXXX code. and maybe in small print "This ignites your hair" or somthing like that. Quote Link to comment
