+Dgwphotos Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I would love to see a photographers coin. I know I am not the only geocacher that is also a photographer! I can't afford to have it made myself, but I would definetely consider buying one. Quote Link to comment

ljay Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Well if someone designs one, we could club together to pay for the mint. Have our own names on them like geo jellies or our own colours like the geo scooters. (i've ordered some of the scooters) i'd deffinately be interested in a personalised batch of these and i'd help with some of the logistics if required? (nothing artistic) Quote Link to comment

+KrazyTrollz Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I love taking photos...... will keep looking for more on this topic!!!! Quote Link to comment
+The Horn Hunters Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Its not a coin, but a earthcache for you photographers to appreciate. I've been there, but at the time I didn't even know what geocaching is. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=gc14np3 Edited January 5, 2008 by The Horn Hunters Quote Link to comment
SCYoli Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I too would be interested in this not so much for myself but for my hubby. He loves to photograph wildlife, nature, and paintball scenarios. Quote Link to comment

+fairyhoney Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Being an amateur nature photographer, too, I really like that idea! But I think "shaped" would be ideal Quote Link to comment
+Steinwälzer Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) A shaped coin, and maybe a personalized one, like the jellies or the nerds, would be great. But I would have to wait a while to participate in such a project as I am out of money for such a project at the moment Edited January 5, 2008 by Steinwälzer Quote Link to comment

+S&G.Davison Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 A box type camera would allow a cache to be hidden in the box Sue Quote Link to comment
+ScoutingWV Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Looking at my Rolleiflex twin lens, I think it would look nifty in coinage form. It could be two parts with a removable lens cap. Or maybe a sliding two-part coin like a Minox. Dare I ask what the tie-in to geocaching would be? Quote Link to comment
+Cav Scout Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 How about a Hanna Montanna geocoin . Nobody has made one of those yet. She geocaches. Quote Link to comment

I would think the tie in would be that while we are out Geocaching taking in the brilliance of Nature we tend to capture such moments with our C A M E R A S!!! And I had no idea that Hannah Montana Geocached?! Does she do it as Hannah or as Miley? hmmm Quote Link to comment

I know I would have found a few more caches today had I not broken out the camera so much ;-) Quote Link to comment
+lyonden_ut Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 As a former Navy Photographer's Mate, when I saw this thread, I thought of a coin in the shape of a Speed Graphic. It is a 4x5 (film Size) press camera you see in the older movies (i.e. the '40's ). This was the first camera the Navy gave us to use in school, and for a short time, I had one of my own to use (maybe again if I get a dark room set up) I would love to help in producing a camera coin, just let me know.

+J10fly Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 lol...I worked on a design for a camera style coin about 8 months ago but never finished it. Wasnt a box type camera but more of a up to date digital. Not sure i even have the artwork still on here. Jayman Quote Link to comment

(nothing artistic) A group project that would allow each member to include a Photo of their own would be great. I'm not a huge fan of the coins with Photo's on them(in general) but this would be nice for many people to get in on. Are the vendors listening, will there be a race to come up with the coin?

Not sure if it's still going on though. Quote Link to comment
+Dgwphotos Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 I looked at both. I would consider buying the Speed Graphic coin, but I spent my spending money on a lens! It didn't look like the GeoPix Coin was still available, but I'm not sure. I would love to see one shaped like an SLR, preferably a Nikon, say my FM. Quote Link to comment
