+Windrose Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Just saw this story on Yahoo. Do you think we can get the mint(s) to start including these in the geocoins? Can you see several angry coin owners showing up at a geocoin thief's house? "Open up!! We know the coins are in there!!!" spy coins Windrose Quote Link to comment

+Crowesfeat30 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Can you imaging a cache container like the silver dollar in the picture? http://tinyurl.com/sbpkx CF30 Edited January 11, 2007 by Crowesfeat30 Quote Link to comment
+Windrose Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Can you imaging a cache container like the silver dollar in the picture? http://tinyurl.com/sbpkx CF30 That would be cool, but if I found a coin near where I was looking for a cache, I would assume it came from the cache (or a cacher's pocket) -- not that it WAS the cache -- and I'd keep looking for the cache.

+Aiden's Cachers Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Although I don't know where mine is right now I believe you could use the coin from the "Scotch & Soda" Coin Trick Quote Link to comment

+graylling Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I suppose I should be waving a huge magnet over all my change from now on. lol Although it doesn't say which coin was the problem I'm willing to bet it was a toonie. They have a center piece that is made of a different metal and pressure fit into the coin. It would be possible to remove it and replace it with a look alike that has a transmitter or rfid chip embedded in it. Quote Link to comment
+Haughton's Hunters Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Although I don't know where mine is right now I believe you could use the coin from the "Scotch & Soda" Coin Trick My thought exactly. I've got the set myself. Silver Dollar, English Penny isn't it? Or is it a 50 cent piece/English Penny? Been some time since I looked at it. Quote Link to comment
keewee01 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) That is just plain scary... but it could be useful for tracking down those geocoin theives. Maybe a new premium member service? Edited January 12, 2007 by keewee01 Quote Link to comment

+slippery_1 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I, too, can just see some angry coin collector showing up at someone's home demanding that their stolen coins be returned... ALostTexan In recent years us Canuks have been on the recieving end or if you may the butt end of jokes. I felt it imparative to display to y'll that the story which started this tracking discussion which has now been laid to rest as a hoax perpitrated by some subversive American intending to get the distinct advantage in solving their losses of geocoins. Winnipeg Sun Canuks have earned the right to say eh!, as well as lived in fridgite weather and slogged through 3 feet of snow to cache and find caches. We drink Canadian beer and after 4 or five we say eh! ya hosers! Then fall over and chip icicles off our noses. Y'll have a great day and keep warm...right now it's, -30C and feels like -45C with the winchill thats in celcius. (this is my sorted way of joking) But the news article is real) Quote Link to comment
