+Chapskis1 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hello, I'm thinking about purchasing some wooden nickels. Who does everyone recommend to buy them from? Also, should a person go with a printed nickel, or spend the extra $$ for a laser cut one? Thanks for the help. George Quote Link to comment
+dew cache Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 You can get them at wooden-nickle.com. They are resonable and relieble I have ordered from them before and liked the product except when any wooden nickle gets wet it warps, I was carring some in my pocket out caching and was sweating (100 degree weather does that to me) and went to drop one in a cache they were all warped. When they dried they pretty much flatten out again. I now use plastic sig nickles. Quote Link to comment
+Cornerstone4 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 There are links for these in the Geocoin forums here as well...along with a trading thread specifically about wooden nickels. You may want to check there. (Your thread will most likely be moved there in any case.) Quote Link to comment
Cache Whisperer Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Laser etched wooden nickels rock...absolutely. Quote Link to comment
+Vinny & Sue Team Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) As I grew up, I was repeatedly warned by my parents and teachers and other adults "in the know" not to accept wooden nickels from anyone, even if offered to me for free, and thus nowadays, as an adult, I could not imagine actually paying for wooden nickels. In fact, I wonder if this sudden preoccupation with purchasing wooden nickels is perhaps one of the signs of the Beginning of End Times, i.e., the Beginning of the End of Days. sigh....

My folks always told me over and over again never buy a book when you can go to the library and check it out for free. But most important was a book that teaches you some thing. Because it is only a matter of time before it is outdated and you need to buy another. I sure love libraries. The save me money, especially on books that teach you how to geocache! This is were I get my wooden nickels! http://www.wooden-nickel.com/ Remember to support your local library, besides, it is free! Quote Link to comment

And the money comes from...? Anyone? Taxes, that's where. We all pay for them. The libraries, the parks, and a thousand other things that people often say are free. I'm not saying we shouldn't fund these things, just that we need to recognize that we do, in fact, pay for them. And yes, they are a wonderful resource. Is this the place you guys are trying to link to? Quote Link to comment
+dardevle Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Yep, thats the place. I now see my link did not work! Thanks for the help! And you are right, we do pay for them, so why not use them? Might as well use them being we do indeed pay for them. Quote Link to comment
