Flying Spaghetti Monster Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I've been asked a few times recently in private about these and am now in a position to confirm their existence: For the folks that don't know (are are new here): What are they? Coins produced by Signal himself and given to volunteer reviewers and moderators. What are they used for? It's up to each recipient to determine that. They can be set free to travel, given as gifts, etc. but no direct recipients have sold them (Signal wouldn't like that). Are they trackable? of course. What does the icon look like? When I get home I'll post a picture of the 1st Volunteer coin for comparison/historical knowledge unless somebody beats me to it. Are the coins available for purchase anywhere? Sorry, no. Questions?

+BackBrakeBilly Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I found one of these this weekend....it was in the middle of a handshake. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I've got a question..... it's similar to the one BigD(ave) asked: Can I have one? I'll trade you for it (wanna German Reviewer GC?). Quote Link to comment
+PengoFamily Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) If anyone reading these posts has one to trade please give me a chance to make an offer. Edited to add, found a pic of the 2005 one. Edited March 24, 2008 by PengoFamily Quote Link to comment

+The Moop Along Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'll have to second what my noodly buddy says above. These are outstanding coins this year. I had the great honor of receiving one in the mail. Why you might ask? Well, I don't know. I guess just because. It wasn't a trade, that's for sure. I got it from some Pastafarian dude, for just being me . . . I'm sure if you look hard enough, you can find my coin, since it's activated and I don't own it. It will certainly take a special place in my collection next to my 2005 ones that I was giving as face to face gifts from my local approver and a very special Cache Agent Thanks FSM TMA Quote Link to comment

+tsunrisebey Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Congrat's Pete Nice coin, I saw a 2005 volunteer, got to bring it to an event but I sent it off with the package going to Iraq. Maybe a couple of you can bring yours to GW6 so the rest of us can have a peek at the new one. Very nice indeed! Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Well, I have nudged our local reviewer with a hint but he hasn't taken it yet. I have hopes tho. He gave me & my BF one of the 05's and he knows how much I looooooove geocoins so hopefully one will grace my collection in the (near) future. CF30 Quote Link to comment

+cainrcc Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Very nice coin I think that the volunteers deserve yearly coins for all that they do. Maybe I will be lucky enough to be able to add one to my collection someday. CONGRATS VOLUNTEERS ! ! on reciving a great 2008 coin. Quote Link to comment
Flying Spaghetti Monster Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 I found one of these this weekend....it was in the middle of a handshake. Thanks! That's a great way to get one - congrats! Would love to trade one of these for <snip> I should have stated that I won't be trading these. They will be used as gifts much like I did with the Copper version of my coin when I made those. I can't speak for other reviewers or moderators but that's my plan. PengoFamily, thanks for posting the other pic. Quote Link to comment

+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 When will there be a new version? Maybe they issue a new one after we chew through a certain number of volunteers?? Quote Link to comment
+Ashallond Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 All volunteers should resign, and all your cache are belong to us! Make your time. *slap* Sorry, I meant all volunteers should resign, and all of us without a volunteer coin should get one. *slap ....slap* Sorry....I mean, OH GEEZ DON'T HIT ME AGAIN...I'M SORRY. *awkward silence* Um....carry on. Nothing to see here. All of our volunteers do great jobs, especially our forum moderators and Arkansas and Oklahoma's reviewers. I name those specifically because I deal with them on a regular basis. I mean it. Scouts Honor. Quote Link to comment
