+madkiwiman Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 This might a brief forum - but trying to find info on NZ geocoins is like pulling teeth it seems. I dont think there are many around - yet I just won a Team Chelmo geocoin on ebay and are gathering info on other NZ coins out there. I know the GPS society - 2007 Fern is about to get a new one delivered and will be available to sale soon. (nice looking coin by the way!) What other NZ Geocoins are out there for a kiwi who lives in NC and wants to release a few to try and get to NZ and back I dont have any to trade - yet, so just looking for info on what is out there. Any and all info will be appreciated MadkiwiMan (aka madnewzealanderman - for those who think i'm mad about kiwi fruit) Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 The 2006 Kiwi coin was plentiful when I first came onto the geocoin scene. About 1000 must have been minted as they were being sold on Ebay in packs of 3 for what seemed like forever. I believe Keewee also has a personal geocoin out and with Team Chelmo that makes the NZ trifecta. Quote Link to comment

+Captain Zulu Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 These are both sides of a new geocoin from New Zealand, dedicated to the 57th World Ploughing Contest that will be held in 2010 at Methven, NZ. This is a link to the event's website: NZ Plough 2010 Quote Link to comment
+Captain Zulu Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 And on October 6th 2007 a worldwide geocaching event took place: the Geocoinfest Multi-Event "A Mosaic Of Events". This event was held that day on 24 different locations in the world, mostly in the U.S.A., but also in Canada, the Netherlands and . . . . in New Zealand. An event geocoin has been issued, the same coin for all locations. But for each location the name has been engraved on the back side of the coin. For the New Zealand event that was AOTEAROA.

+Butterfly_lady Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) New Zealand geocoins. 1. Kiwi 2006 2. Fern 2007 3. Sputnik by ZorkV (more international, but produced by a kiwi) 4.Kiwifruit (also by ZorkV) on sale now) 5. Team Chelmo - Gold, Silver, Copper and LE Gold/Silver The first two were produced by the GPS society in NZ. Currently getting about US$50, I believe. Also there's a Signal geocoin - bungy jumping in NZ - even has a little bit of red elastic attached. There may be more, but I can't recall any at the moment.

+Lazer Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Does anyone know when the 2008 fern (or whatever they're called this year) are coming out? Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 2. Fern 2007 Wow! I just love this coin! I started collecting coins too late and was unable to purchase one. Has anyone done an All Blacks coin? Or even just a rugby coin? Quote Link to comment
+keewee Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 The 2006 Kiwi geocoin was done by Hex The Kiwi (I think that is his name). There is no news at the moment on the 2008 NZ Recreational GPS Society geocoin yet. I have heard rumors about what it is... but nothing hard and fast yet. Quote Link to comment
+madkiwiman Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) Thanks everyone for the awesome coin info - there are more than i thought. Yes i would like the get the new Fern 2007 coin coming out. Society members can order now i believe - i will have to wait till they come out (hope i have my info right - and it's not a 2008 coin - oh well) Man alive - Yes an ALL BLACKS GEOCOIN - now there's a winner if ever there was still waiting for my Team Chelmo silver geocoin to turn up - not long now i hope.

+ECplus3 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Man alive - Yes an ALL BLACKS GEOCOIN - now there's a winner if ever there was I wonder how many takers there would be for a Tri Nations series of coins? Quote Link to comment
+madkiwiman Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) I wonder how many takers there would be for a Tri Nations series of coins? Double man alive - they would sell like hot cakes or hot steamy biscuits (scones for those over the bigger pacific pond) Edited May 2, 2008 by madkiwiman Quote Link to comment

+ECplus3 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Any of you Kiwis have an extra Fern kicking around you don't know what to do with? I don't know what I can offer in trade, as pretty much everything on my 'available' list is tied up in kdv's math trade right now. Quote Link to comment
+madkiwiman Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Arhh - sorry keewee - didn't mean to get you all excited - so there is a new new 2008 coin coming out? Quote Link to comment

+Apty Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'm an ex-pat kiwi too - living in South Australia - a newbie (about 5 weeks) - collecting a few geocoins - would love to get my hands on any / all NZ GCs etc. Received a Chelmo GC in the post today(bought thru eBay) and I'm in LOVE! LOL. Are there any NZ GCs that I can order around the place or anyone looking for trades? Cheers Apty (Apty = short for Apteryx) Quote Link to comment
+madkiwiman Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Wow - it's been a long time coming back here - but im starting to look for some New Zealand coins - found a few but still would love the fern 07 one Quote Link to comment
+justmeg Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Where can i get a NZ leap year coin to start my collection, or failing that any leap year coin. I am going to a leap year event but I understand there won't be any coins there. Thanks Quote Link to comment

Thanks You might be able to trade with someone (or get someone to buy you one) going to the Dunedin, Wellington or Auckland events. Otherwise, I expect Geoswag will have a version that is sold online in their store. I also have some "Canterbury" 11-11-11 event coins. Quote Link to comment
