sssooocool Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Thanks for everone's order & re-order. I got 250 Taiwan Geocoin - Blue Magpie geocoin at first and then there are 20 left now. This is your last chance to get the 1st Taiwan local GeoCoin !! Thanks again for all the compliments from you !! Is there anyone notice a "cryptical design" which is related to "GeoCaching" on the Blue Magpie side -,-? sssooocool Quote Link to comment
danoshimano Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Is there anyone notice a "cryptical design" which is related to "GeoCaching" on the Blue Magpie side -,-? No, I can't see it and I'm looking with a 10 power loupe. Can I can get a hint? (My only problem with this coin is I am not sure how I am going to be able to capture its beauty in a photo.)

Team Macha Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 One tail feather is "critically" shorter than the other one. I doubt that would be an asset in flight. Quote Link to comment

Hi, Before production, we had a discussion with cachers in Taiwan ceocaching forum and decide to use official geographic center coordinate. GCQ7H8 can not be located exactly on the geographic certer because of this. Thanks for mention this sssooocool Quote Link to comment
keewee01 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) OK, the more I look the more I see it - very cunning design. Edited January 26, 2007 by keewee01 Quote Link to comment
keewee01 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 (edited) I have been asked to explain where the logo is on the coin... so here goes. It takes up the entire side of the coin! The outer (purple) circle of the coin, along with the branch and the blue magpie form the Leatherman variation of the public Geocaching logo (the GX). A very cleaver design!
