How may trackable coins do you have?

[+T"n"T]

I am taking a poll of [b]trackable[/b]geocoins that are in the collections, traveling and owned by, or have been bought for non coining friends of people that are in these forums on a regular basis. Please do not include non-trackables in count. Not a cointest or a rating so please be honest, if you choose to, feel free to e-mail me the number of coins. A few of us started trying to figure out how many coins are being made by all the producers and private parties and really got confused with what might be out there. Then try and see how far reaching those numbers are and where all the coins are at.

 

1) how many do you have in hand

2) how many do you have released

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins( do not want to count coins twice)

 

Thanks for imput.

[dimkasmir]

1) 3 - 2 of which I'm gonna be releasing any day now

2) 12

3) 0

[+Mr.Explorer3]

1) how many do you have in hand #625

 

2) how many do you have released #143 activated with most released

 

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins( do not want to count coins twice) #35 given to the Mrs. with 6 of those traveling and I have given away #150 or so at events and FTF prizes

 

There are very very few people from my area that come on to this board and post so I would say it is safe to count my giveaways as uncounted.

 

This will be interesting.

[+coreynjoey]

1- I'd guess around 300 in my collection

2- we've released 240

3- we've given away around 10 to non cachers

[+The-Wolf-Pack]

1) how many do you have in hand.....44

2) how many do you have released....0 (I'm still in the there all mine stage lol)

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins....4

[+dardevle]

Lets see,

 

1) 19 coins in my collection, all activated.

 

2) 2 coins released ( both MIA)

 

3) 0 coins to non-cachers, 4 coins for cointest, 1 coin for hearts desire.

[Theotokos]

1) 196

2) 1 (I'm too afraid)

3) 0 (any gift coins have been given away to other 'coiners')

[+Dolfy]

1) how many do you have in hand - reaching 150

2) how many do you have released- 0 too afraid for them to be stolen

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins( do not want to count coins twice) - 6

[+cainrcc]

1) how many do you have in hand ? Arround 700

2) how many do you have released ? 18 with only 5 missing

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins ? 1 postal jeep to my mailman as he takes care of my padded mailers and puts them in my door at my appt. building

[+Butterfly_lady]

1) how many do you have in hand - 241 plus all my unactivated ones - many are for trades etc.

2) how many do you have released - 126

 

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins( do not want to count coins twice) - Only trade / give to those who are active cachers or collector / trader = so I guess the answer to this question is zero / nil / zilch.

 

Total activated to date - 360

Unactivated - about 120

 

Lost or stolen while travelling.... 7 plus 2 TBs (kiwis)

 

That's only a 5% loss - small risk, even though every loss is always a disappointment in human nature, or a cache lost.

[+tliuska]

1) how many do you have in hand - 0

2) how many do you have released - 8

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins - 0

 

I prefer to see those coins travelling around, so I'm not keeping any

[+Carbon Hunter]

1) 20

2) 20

3) 9

[+Frank n Beck]

1) how many do you have in hand - 63

2) how many do you have released - 0

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins( do not want to count coins twice) - 3

[ljay]

1) how many do you have in hand..... 72

2) how many do you have released....Some active that travel but not released to the wild, counted above

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins....0

 

I also have 7 (I think) in the post on their way to me.

3)given away to non-coin folks - 9 (I some of our personals to non-caching friends and family)

[+PengoFamily]

trackables owned: 458 activated and approx another 40 that need to be

 

how many released: approx 8-10. My daughter's Sparks has 24 coins released and travelling.

 

how many gifted to non cachers: 16

[+AtlantaGal]

Counting collection, travellers and extras... probably 4000

[Maine Family]

1) how many do you have in hand: 400

2) how many do you have released:36

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins( do not want to count coins twice) Seems I buy coins for my brother-in-law, daughter and her step daughter who go caching with us and I also buy coins to give to kids, the number of activated between them all is 622. All is activated, not sure how many have been released to the wild or how many still in thier hands.

I bet it's a trick....to get us to face our addiction. I think it's called intervention?

I will post after counting...

[+tom4props]

I lost count a long time ago, but of those that are not out in the world traveling, I know I have three display albums, five full 1 gallon ZipLoc bags, and 3 full shoe boxes.

Thanks for bringing this up; I think it's time I get back to organizing and inventorying my exponentially growing collection.

[+gardengorilla]

Aha! Time for spring cleaning. Thanks Tracy!

 

I have exactly 100 Activated coins

77 Non activated

11 Non trackables

7 pathtags

2 RIP (gone)

7 Released

12 given to caching friends, events, and my kids...

4 TB's

0 Mystery coins

[SEWdaugh]

1) how many do you have in hand

 

We have 352 unactivated geocoins in hand + 32 unactivated trackable pins

We have 26 activated coins in hand

 

2) how many do you have released

 

We've released 2 and they're both missing.

 

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins( do not want to count coins twice)

 

That's hard to answer. We have left at least 75 unactivated coins in caches and I know many have been picked up by cachers that have never owned a geocoin -- that just make us feel warm and fuzzy!

[+fox-and-the-hound]

Holy smokes, now I've got homework!

[+the jesters]

1. According to geocachingcom I have 187 activated trackables. I have another two albume w/the same amount unactivated. I have two treasure chests filled w/trades (approximately 200). So that's about 761 coins.

2. I have not set any free in the wild, but I do carry one on my GPS so that it can be discovered when I run into fellow cachers.

3. I have given five away as gifts.

 

I am hopping to go to the Geocoinfest n Pennsylvania and trade away my 200 extras.

[avroair]

1. too many

2. about 40 in the wild

3. given away well over 1000

[+Rockin Roddy]

Counting collection, travellers and extras... probably 4000

 

WOW, fancy that...I was thinking the same number....minus one of the 0's!!

[+Logan_Clan]

1) how many do you have in hand: 7 ( I just started this a couple weeks ago)

 

1a.) How many coming? 10

 

2) how many do you have released: 0 still waiting on some that I ordered. I plan to release at last 2 of those.

 

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins. 0 so far

[+bassmig]

1) in hand 38 but 3 are leaving on a mission tomorrow

2) 3 activated 1 might be MIA, 1 hasn't left yet but will be in my next cache.

3) I don't know that I have given away any to such people...lol!

[+OshnDoc]

Am not going keewee's way. Takes too much time.

1) close to 1000 give or take a few

2) around 30

3) >50 Didn't keep too much track of that, it is more fun without counting.

[+Tennessee Jed]

Well, lets see.

 

1. 860 on Geocaching.com plus a few of my personals and traders

2. Around 150

3. Around 150

[+sweetlife]

we have as of today about 815 activated coins and only about 10 to acitivate yet

 

we have only released 2 and both are still active

 

we have given some away traded some and sold a few on the esite. couldnt count how many of those

 

Barry and Valarie of sweetlife

[+T"n"T]

So far we have a total of about:

1) 12,037

2) 1,675

3) 2,161

 

And a few of the hmmmmmm, gonna take a while to count replys.

 

Where are the coins at?

Let us know how many you have?

 

Not an intervention!!!!However: it looks like it might need to be.

[+Cheesy pigs]

1) 397

2) 3

3) over 50

[+Marky]

Counting collection, travellers and extras... probably 4000

We probably have around that, but they aren't all trackable. For trackables, I'd say we have roughly:

1) ~2500

2) ~250

3) There are people that don't "do" coins?

 

--Marky

[+NeoAddict]

1) how many do you have in hand...6 or 7 I think

2) how many do you have released...4 released coins, all in circulation still (i just released them, lol!)

3) how many have been given away to those who don't "Do" coins...none yet to people who aren't into geocaching or coining, but I've placed one in a cache as a FTF prize. They loved it!

 

I'm just getting into the Geocoin world, admittedly.

I am one of those unorganized people. Always has been and I'm afraid that I always will be

I Do know that I have ALOT of coins. I have definitely bought a lot of them - even have good ideas for releasing. My son is the good one to release them ( I give him the coins, half ideas, and he runs with them !)

[+T"n"T]

 

Are you going to share the results of this quiz?

I am going to get back to working on totals, as well as trying to figure out our answers. I was slightly amazed at how many a few of us have each. Glad to know we are not the only totally addicted people here. Altough ours ahas been put on hold for a while. Will have to get some trades going for some the awesome coins from the last few months.

 

Anyway back on track. Yes I will be posting totals as we go. Thanks for all the responses.

[+Gustav129]

1) So far 9 Trackables a few more on the way, all activated; 1 Untrackable (only included because it's part of a set with a trackable)

3) 0
