+tadpole379 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 The Geocoin Nerds are arriving at their destinations. For those of you who were not part of the group, the Geocoin Nerds is a group coin project. The coins are 1.25 inches, 2mm thick, and customized with personal engraving and color choice of enamel and metal. There were 25 cachers/teams as group members, and together we produced a total of 1,670 coins in 63 different color/metal combinations--so good luck to anyone who wants a full set!!! I am starting this thread so that Group members who have nerds to trade may post photos of their nerds, and see who else is interested in trading. This will help out with trading nerds for other nerds, as well as anyone not in the group who wants to trade other coins/pins/sig items, etc, for nerds. I still have not received my coins, so I am borrowing some photos from the mailbox thread as an example of what the coins look like. Each person's coins are in different color enamels, have personalized engraving, and come in either gold, nickel, or black nickel. Also, as an FYI, many group members decided to donate one or more coins to a charity auction to raise money for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. A total of 36 Geocoin Nerds were donated by group members for the auction, which will be listed on ebay some time in the coming week. Thank you to everyone who participated in this project, I had a lot of fun, and I hope you enjoy your Nerds!! Quote Link to comment
+Ble68 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I love the Pappa Woods one! I would love to trade when mine come! Quote Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 We would love to trade as well when ours come. It was fun Jackie being included in the Nerds coin with you. It will be so much fun to trade with others. Thanks for posting this thread. Barry and Val sweetlife Mountain, WI. Quote Link to comment
+PSU Fan Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Nerds, Nerds, Nerds..... I was not part of the project but I am anxious to see some more of the pictures of some of the Nerds out there. I would be interested in getting myself a Nerd or 2 by trading for perhaps a Team Geocache Hockey coin or one of my personals. The coins look great. PSU Fan Quote Link to comment
+Woodland Clan Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Thank you Tadpole for the Golden Nerd. WE were so surprised. The nerds are amazing. Papa Wood is sick in bed with the stomach flu as soon as he feels better I will find out if he is willing to part with any of his coins. Mama Wood of Woodland Clan Quote Link to comment

+Steinwälzer Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks so much for the pictures, Jackie! This was the first time for me to see my Nerds (and for this alone it was worth to donate them ) Can't wait to get them, I hope they won't be delayed by the customs or hold back by them so that I would have to pick them up at the customs office here, they have terrible opening times...

+sweetlife Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 We got our Nerds Coins in yesterday and OMG...They are so cute. Will post a picture of ours by the weekend. Had 4 different colors made and they all turned out so nice. Hope to trade with people that have glitter ones. Hope to make some trades with other Geocachers. Thanks Jackie/tadpole for having this coin minted and letting us all join in the group project. Barry and Val sweetlife Mountain, WI. Quote Link to comment
wwflover13 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 WOW! The Nerds look like they all turned out great! Too bad I didn't get in on the fun. Anybody know who did the black "Renegade"?

+GPX Navigators Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 These did come out cute. Wish we could have done this but it wasn't meant to be. However, would love to get two for the kids for Christmas. I know they will adore these. A pink or purple glitter for Go Girl (or anything super girly) and maybe a green glitter or glow for King Finder. I can't tell who has what so if you have those colors (or something you think kids will love) and would be willing to trade with mom, email me direct. Thanks very much. BTW - what are the dimensions on these? Quote Link to comment

Each one is listed as KW 1 through 25 and NW 1 through 25. KW 23 and NW 24 were donated to the auction. I still haven't decided if I am doing to do trades or if I will just drop them off in caches. Or maybe I'll keep em all... they're just too darn cute! Actually hoping there is a v2 so the whole BRoKeN W family can have some! Quote Link to comment
