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 :D 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). ;):)

You might want to read up on Trackable Items. ;)
