newbie question about Geocoins

[+Metalman1007]

So i see everyone talking about trading and their personal collections and stuff....I'm pretty new to the sport and have only found a couple coins...included was a piece of paper that clearly states not to keep it. Am I only allowed to keep certain coins? Do I not keep any coins that I find? Just a little confused..can you help?

The coins, which you buy are yours to keep, trade, activate...etc.

But the ones you find in caches are supposed to travel They belong to their ownders and have a mission.

You are not allowed to keep them.

But with your own coins you can do what you want.

Okay...I got it. That's what I was thinking but wanted to ask to make sure. Thanks I will keep them moving.

On rare occasions, one may find an unactivated geocoin in a cache, that is either intended as swag, or left as a FTF prize. This will most always be noted on the cache page (FTF) or in a previous log (swag).

 

We have gotten one as FTF and two as intended swag.

 

Generally however, geocoins are owned by another person and intended to move as a TB (traveler), sometimes with a specific mission, sometimes not. They usually are not meant to be swag (items for trade).
