Getting Trackable #'s for a non-geocoin coin

[+Zor]

I am not sure if this is the right forum, but I thought I would start here.

 

Awhile back, I had a series of ceramic poker chips custom made with my own artwork and have been using these as a signature item in caches that I hide and many of the ones that I find.

 

I have been emailed by some other cachers who have picked up my sig item chip wondering if it was in fact a special type of geocoin and whether or not it could be tracked. I always tell them that it's just a sig item and they are free to keep it or use it as a tradeable.

 

My question is, is it possible to obtain GC tracking ID codes for items other than geocoins? Would I be able to obtain these numbers for my signature poker chips so that they could be tracked on GC.com? I would assume that I would use the same PCxxxx style tracking since it is a personal item.

 

It's just a curiosity thing. I may turn around and just have coins made anyway but I wanted to know if I could in fact do it with what I have now.

 

Anyone know?

If you don't have a large number of them it may be easier to attach a Travelbug to them.

Your best bet is to contact (bryan@Groundspeak.com) and ask him directly.

 

There have been exceptions made in the past for some homemade items - but that doesn't necessarily mean that exceptions will be made again. Go to source for the best answer on this one.

Where do you go to ask for these #'s?
