I bought some before I found my first one in a cache, because the idea of geocoins and travelbugs thrilled me so much when I read about it... like that garden gnome in the Amelie movie I guess it was my "Lord of the Caches", but I'm not sure.

And one is in the hands of a 3-caches-newbie, who didn't answer my email, but I still hope for that little gecko... 5. Have you ever minted a coin? If so - how many? If not - skip to question 6 Nope.
