Coin Idea

[+Dgwphotos]

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.

f0t0m0m's and darylw4's personal coins have cameras on them

Shaped like an old "box" camera would be nice. Maybe 3-d

I think this would be an excellent idea especially if it is Shaped

[+PengoFamily]

oooo this actually gives me an idea. hmmmmmmmm

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)

[+fairyhoney]

We'll have to keep this towards the top

[+KrazyTrollz]

I love taking photos...... will keep looking for more on this topic!!!!

[+The Horn Hunters]

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.

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.

Being an amateur nature photographer, too, I really like that idea!

But I think "shaped" would be ideal

[+Steinwälzer]

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

Unless someone can do it on their own (not me)

[+S&G.Davison]

A box type camera would allow a cache to be hidden in the box

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?

How about a Hanna Montanna geocoin . Nobody has made one of those yet. She geocaches.

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

I agree... favorite part of logs are the pictures. I know I would have found a few more caches today had I not broken out the camera so much ;-)

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.

[lordxtra]

I love Photos also....Great Idea

[ljay]

Guys,

 

This idea has been giving me nightmares! I am putting together a proposal for this coin and i will post a picture when i get something!

 

Thanks

MAYBE, there will be a series one Might be nice with "pictures" one side. - Not real ones, sort of like 3d drawings or something !

[+PengoFamily]

oooo this actually gives me an idea. hmmmmmmmm

 

I took my idea and started with it that night and something is now in the works..... stay tuned.

[+J10fly]

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.

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?

This would be an ideal format to allow each individual include their own photo, in the screen section of the camera.

I love both of these (already have the large format one).

Coinswag was doing that with their GeoPix coin. Not sure if it's still going on though.

[+Dgwphotos]

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.
