+ArtieD Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) I am baffled...coinfused...and just a little worried...in a good way. Yesterday evening, I got a padded envelope. This envelope was a plain padded mailer, one of which virtually any geocoin addict knows and loves dearly. Besides the simple address of mine, it had a postmark. I couldn't quite make out the town, though, although it did say Arkansas. The return address simply said "A Friend." In it was a coin that still has me laughing. I cannot convey the amount of hilarity it has brought me. Thing is, per the rule card that came with it, I cannot post a complete picture of the coin, so I will post a couple partial pics. It also asks that I do not trade or sell it. Edited July 22, 2007 by Arthur & Trillian Link to comment

+ChadsClan Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I must have skipped school the day binary was taught. Looks like I may have to brush up on it for this one. Aren't there other coins with binary on them? Brian and Jake of Team A.I. have some binary on their coin, I believe. Link to comment

I've gotten a couple of mystery coins, and still have yet to find out who they're from. Same here. I have 2 now, but don't know for sure who's behind them. I think I got a hint at one of them though at GW5. Edited July 23, 2007 by islander1988 Link to comment

TrsrHuntr You never know with these things, but I suspect many of these secret givers either do trades, or sell coins or something of that nature. You'd have lots of addresses doing either of those. I've done some trades and bought coins so I'm hoping my address is floating on these mystery winds too! Link to comment

ParentsofSAM Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Congrats AT! Once someone taught or attempted to teach me how to count in binary and I never did get it... Oh well the numbers 2-9 would be lonely if we only used binary....lol I can't wait to figure out the funny behind this coin and see the full coin. Link to comment
TokyoBlossom Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Congratulations Arthur & Trillian! This one intrigues me. And the only thing more fun than counting in binary, counting in hexadecimal! Link to comment

+hybridgeek Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Sweet! A coin with binary! w00t!! That's a first from what I've seen. We could use some more technology/computer oriented coins... hehe. After all, without the wonderful binary language, we wouldn't have GPS units, computers, or any other digital electronics! Looks cool! -hybridgeek Link to comment

+GeekBoy.from.Illinois Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I am baffled...coinfused...and just a little worried...in a good way. Yesterday evening, I got a padded envelope. This envelope was a plain padded mailer, one of which virtually any geocoin addict knows and loves dearly. Besides the simple address of mine, it had a postmark. I couldn't quite make out the town, though, although it did say Arkansas. The return address simply said "A Friend." In it was a coin that still has me laughing. I cannot convey the amount of hilarity it has brought me. Thing is, per the rule card that came with it, I cannot post a complete picture of the coin, so I will post a couple partial pics. It also asks that I do not trade or sell it. Well, from my previous experiences before geocaching, I can tell you that there are such things as "anonymous re-mailers" out there. The original sender mails the item to a PO Box along with the postage to send it off to the final location. Then the Mail Drop Operator (aka Droperator) removes the item from the outside envelope and drops it in the mail from their local post office. We used to get letters from "Blue Ridge Summit, PA" all of the time... Link to comment
+GeekBoy.from.Illinois Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Do I see "... coin dedicated to the ...." ? I'm not sure, to me it kinda looks like " ... coin dedicated to tho..." although I could be wrong, it certainly wouldn't be the first time. Link to comment
