Keeping track of my coins

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!!!"

Can you imaging a cache container like the silver dollar in the picture?

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.

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.

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.

That is just plain scary... but it could be useful for tracking down those geocoin theives. Maybe a new premium member service? :D

I, too, can just see some angry coin collector showing up at someone's home demanding that their stolen coins be returned...

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.

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)
