+tsunrisebey Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 5/13/08 Yellowstone National Park My mom and grandma got really tired of me yelling "STOP, Buffalo!" so I could take pictures. It's not like I haven't seen Buffalo around here but YNP is the only place where they roam free and that was very exciting for me. I've also been to YNP but never saw the Buffalo before. I whipped out my Tatanka Pejula coin and showed my grandma. I'll not bore you with all my Tatanka pictures but here are 2, one has some baby Tatankas Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Excellent! Although I don't see a white one with a red stripe roaming around out there. Quote Link to comment

CinemaBoxers Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Okay... I recently snapped a pic of this - Kinda reminds me of a coin I saw...hmmmm where did I see it.. OH YEAH... on my Seeking list! Well, until someone sent me one! ~J Quote Link to comment

I whipped out my Tatanka Pejula coin and showed my grandma. I'll not bore you with all my Tatanka pictures but here are 2, one has some baby Tatankas In Saskatchewan where i was raised, we have a National Park and they had a herd of buffalo in a significant fenced area. About 7 years ago, they decided to set them free. The herd has grown a lot since then and they come to my uncles' farm once in a while to 'wreak havoc' with his herd. It's hard to stop a rutting buffalo To keep this on topic...we just got our Australia visa sticker put into our passports and it has the Australian coat of arms on it...that emu reminds me of my 2008 Australia coin.

+fairyhoney Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I've got to start carrying my camera with me. As I parked in a parking lot, there in front of me was a vehicle that had those " Tennessee Jed" type of bears going across the rear window - You now, there is another person who uses a green one of those bears for their avatar Quote Link to comment
+joranda Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 A pocket watch reminds me of the The Pocket Decoder coin. Hey, doesn't it go on sale tomorrow? Quote Link to comment
+BRoKeN W Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Forgot to post this last month. But while celebrating our 7th Anniversary on a dinner train ride, there was a lady who was singing songs and one of the songs she chose to sing was "Don't Fence Me In." Quote Link to comment
wwflover13 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yesterday while on the way to go caching, we stopped at a red light behind a car that had some stickers on it. I immediately thought to myself "where have I seen that design before..? Is it the new earth turtles..no.... OH YEAH, it's the Mauison coins!" Now that I'm home and can compare, they don't look exactly alike, but there is still a strange resemblance: Quote Link to comment
LoriDarlin Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I saw someone about a month ago with that in Idaho and instantly thought of Mauison. I've also seen a volkswagen bug with printed ladybugs all over it which reminded me of both 2bugs and the ladybug kids. I need to start carrying my camera more also fairyhoney. Quote Link to comment
+LadyBee4T Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yesterday I had to pull into a hospital visitor parking lot. I pulled out the bill to put into the machine and it gave me change in coins. As I saw the coins falling out the chute, I instantly thought of the Lowracer coin because of the head on them!! I was a bit disoriented for a moment wondering why my change was in geocoins. I'm not completely sure why that happened but maybe because like Avroair I have been thinking of the cost of things in terms of geocoins so of course the change was in geocoins!!

wwflover13 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) On my way back from my caching adventures today, I again stopped at a red light behind a car with a sticker reminding me of a geocoin! I knew immediately which coin it was - the (very cool) Labyrinth coin: BTW it was the bottom sticker that reminded me of the coin Edited June 2, 2008 by wwflover13 Quote Link to comment
+gardengorilla Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sort of embarassing...but for the last 3 days I have been hooked on Indiana Jones lego Nintendo DS game ever since it came out on Tuesday... Whoever said Indiana Jones would've been a geocacher was right! You search in the game for treasure/bricks/etc. and along the way pick up lego studs which I think look amazingly like shiney geocoins. That may explain why I am so hooked on the game Quote Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 When I was recently at the Space Needle, this emblem was found set into the backs of the pay binoculars on the viewing level. It instantly reminded my of the lapel pins from my high school (The Sunset Falcons) and the moose on the Swedish Moose coins. I think it will be a great basis for adding an element to a coin in the future. Quote Link to comment
+gardengorilla Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Well this is backwards, but I found this coin in a cache today and it reminded me of a place I wish to visit one day: Quote Link to comment

+Mauison Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I've been meaning to post to this thread but I never had my camera with me to take the following photo. We eat lunch at this local park about once a week and the first time I saw this object, I thought, that looks like a geocoin!

+ThirstyMick Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I had a great dream last night. I was hiking somewhere exotic and I saw a GIANT Leatherback Turtle (climbing a tree for some reason?) and I started snapping pictures thinking "this is so cool" and "im so going to post these pictures in the things that remind you of coins thread; he looks just like a 2008 Earth Turtle!" I wish that really happened instead i got to go to work today. Quote Link to comment

acadiahiker Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I saw this postcard in the grocery store yesterday, which of course, reminded me of the Geocaching Across the Atlantic coin. Through a combination of optical illusion and super tele-photo, it appears the Rotterdam is almost parked on the sidewalk! In reality, it is moored out in Frenchman's Bay. Quote Link to comment

+aka Momster Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 This striped hidden Mickey at Disneyland reminded me of the Mickey Diver geocoin. Hopefully, it isn't as close as I get to seeing a real one someday. Quote Link to comment
+gardengorilla Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks for digging this thread up aka momster! I've been wanting to post these for a while but can never figure out how to search for old threads... Some beautiful 'Whale Trails'.... These were taken during our whale watching at Hervey Bay, Queensland. They are humpback whales that stop at Hervey Bay for a 'vacation' during migration season. Apparently they love it here Quote Link to comment

+LionsLair Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 that is what I thought when I saw them this morning! a replica coin like these would be awesome! ...Then my wife reminded me that I think everything looks good as a coin... she just doesn't get it! lol did you know that each one has it's own unique wavy shape? I thought that was awesome too... it makes each medal unique. Quote Link to comment

I thought that was awesome too... it makes each medal unique. even among the other designers and artists there are critics who either like this unique design or dislike it, calling this a "potato chip" design...lol...i like something different and originality in a coin. kudos to the designer for thinking outside the round box!

+GATOULIS Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 they are lovely!!!

Are they made from Gold silver and copper or not??? They are so heavy!!! WOW!! Some old olympic games medals were made of real gold, and silver... I do not know if they stop this!

Are they made from Gold silver and copper or not??? They are so heavy!!! WOW!! Some old olympic games medals were made of real gold, and silver... I do not know if they stop this! there seems to be different numbers on the required minimum thickness and diameter of the medal, but this is the information i found online about olympic medals: Olympic Solid Gold Medals The last Olympic gold medals that were made entirely out of solid gold were awarded in 1912. Modern Olympic Medals The Olympic medals are designed especially for each individual Olympic Games by the host city's organizing committee. Each medal must be at least three millimeters thick (some say 6mm now) and 60 millimeters in diameter (some say 70mm now). Also, the gold and silver Olympic medals must be made out of 92.5 percent silver, with the gold medal plated in six grams of 24K gold. Bronze medals are usually zinc or copper and plated in a bronze color finish. Edited February 13, 2010 by Odyssey Voyager Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I think that they look like potato chips. Very expensive potato chips that are low in fat. Quote Link to comment

+Minimike2 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 In a sense, they are trackable. Each medal awarded has the event engraved on the back. The Gold Medal for Women's Drunken Curling would be unique and traceable, for an example. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 As these are not geocoins, but things that remind you of geocoins, I am merging this with the Things That Remind You Of Geocoins thread. Quote Link to comment
