+pittrfc Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 How do you get a little icon for your coin on the geocaching site? Mine just shows a generic coin picture. How do you get the picture of what the coin represents? Quote Link to comment

+Moonsouth Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I believe that you need to pay an extra 150.00 to Groundspeak for an unique icon when you have the coin minted....not sure but, that is my understanding of it. Quote Link to comment
+teamhaynes Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 The maker of the coin decides whether to create a custom icon for their coin.. As said above there is a charge of 150 for the icon so many coins come with just the generic icon... It appears that the coin you have only has a generic icon... Quote Link to comment

How do you get the picture of what the coin represents? That's it. The little golden coin is the icon for your Maryland coin, albeit a generic icon. Custom icons are an extra expense in the coin making process. Quote Link to comment
+Bhob Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 as noted above, a custom icon requires a one-time payment of $150 to Groundspeak absent this fee, you get the generic icon it should probably also be pointed out that an icon is not automatically created by Groundspeak the coin creator/owner/maker is also responsible for creating icon art and submitting it along with the $150 this does not need to be done at the same time as the coin artwork submission and name selection you may get through that part at one point in time, and then "upgrade" your default icon at a later date details are available in the pinned thread at the top of this topic named - Groundspeak's Current Coin Tracking Policy Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 And if this is a new coin with an icon, sometimes it takes a little while for the icons to be uploaded, so they will show up in time. Quote Link to comment
