Hello to all!

 

In my last cache search, I found in a cache a strange coin that looks like a geocoin! Itis a small one, about 23-24 mm, but it doesn't have the "Trackable at geocaching.com", and it doesn't have a tracking number!

 

I have no idea what this is! If it is an unoficial geocoin, it means that I can keep it? since I did not know what it is, I took it and put something else in the cache!

 

Is someone know something about this coin? What it is, why it is minted etc? I will post pictures of both sides!

Thank you for your help!

You could try one of those translators online. You cut and paste the text for the translation. Or maybe mousekakat or one of the other folks here that speak a foreign lanuguage could help! Is that German? Dutch?

 

Lelle, Solan109, Hasseper and I have Swedish covered. Smort78 is Norwegian. Between all of use we can all swing translating Danish if we need to.... although I think that there are a couple of Danes here, as well.

 

There are a couple of Germans here, Steinwälzer is who I can think of off the top of my head, but she's been busy with school.

 

Wie drie (sorry for butchering the spelling there) is Dutch...

 

We've got some Greeks, Ukrainians and a couple of other nationalities here, too, so I'm sure someone can get ya translated and on track!

The language is german. :blink:

 

It is a artshow about figurs around Jezus leben for 2000 jahr.

the show opens at 14 - 30 march 2008. (it is advertising for the show)

 

I think you can keep your pathtag, if you have more question i can try to answer them, but i am not so good as a real german. :o

hello gatoulis,

 

here in Europe we have at the markets shop carrier where we have to put 50 euro penny in it,

but also you can put one little coin with publicity on it in the cars.

i think that the coin you have is one of these things because the internet site is a German sale site of biblical figure`s.

but maybe you can send a e-mail to the company whit your question to: renate milerski

email: R.Milerski@t-online.de

 

greetings Lorca.nl :blink:

Here in The Netherlands, Germany and more countries we often use such coins in our shoppingcart. The coins are also collectoritems and [commercial link removed by moderator]there're lots of them[/url] (and much cheaper :blink: ).

 

Are these trackable?

 

If you follow the cart, yes! But not for geocaching, unless you buy yourself the trackingnumbers and let them stamp at the coin.

I think what he means is, you can't post links to sales of items that are not trackable on geocaching.com.

I don't think that the link was posted with the intention to try to sell something so much as it was posted to show the myriad of examples there are :o

 

We use them here in Sweden, too. At first I hated it and thought it was a major pain in the butt, but now I love it! My car doesn't have a single ding on it from some bozo leaving their cart randomly in the parking lot :o. Even better is that the carts are rarely wet or yucky since they are almost always either returned inside the store or to a covered little "cart barn" thingie :blink:

 

I have a little trolley coin (Brittish English) on my keychain that I use, Micke does, too.

They are very cute!!!!!!! thanks for posting that link

wish we used that for the shopping carts around here.... the few that actually do that, have you use quarters, then you get it back when you return the cart.

I never said he was trying to push them :) I'm just pointing out that as soon as a moderator pops in here, this thread is going to be edited or locked. It doesn't matter what the purpose is, the link is not allowed ;)

Yes, the language is german, and the company which runs the website is selling courses where these dolls are made.

 

The "coin" is a token for a shopping cart; a promotional item, not trackable and never intended as a geocoin. Almost all shopping carts over here work with 1€ coins (which you get back when bringing your cart back), but a little keychain with 1-2 of these tokens and you can't run out of coins for your cart.

Thank you all for your help!!!

 

I have some German shopping cart tokens, and some german coins from chemist shops but do not look like this one!

 

This strange coin looks a lot like path tag, but is thinner! As I saw, it is not in the gallery of path tags! (I saw some beautiful path tags there!!!).

 

So, even if it looks like a signature coin, I am starting to think that is a token for shopping cart too!

 

I will send an email to site, to see what they will tell me!

They maybe made it o advertise the event in March!

 

Anyway...I like it! :-)

Asking where something came from is fine. There are so many nontrackable coins out there that when something like this shows up in a cache, people want to know what it is, before they place it in another cache. Where better to ask? However, posting unapproved commercial links is not allowed. The commercial links have been removed.

A shopping cart token was my first thought when I saw it, too :D

 

But a really nice one, most of them are really ugly :laughing:

 

I just had a look, and never realized that they have the exact size of a pathtag! Maybe I should use a pathtag now for my shopping cart instead of one of those ugly tokens to make my shopping cart trackable :laughing::blink:

Hello Eartha!

Oh sorry if I made any mistakes! :laughing:

Did I post commercial links? If yes, I am really sorry! :laughing:

I checked her web site out and I saw that it was a logo for her site, I emailed her and asked was it a signature item or just a tag that hooks on her figures she makes . I typed in english and had it change to german. But lol some of our words are not the same. I hope she can understand my question. If She gets back to me I will post her answer in english. USA 45
