Gamma Ray Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 What do people think of micro coins? do ou buy/collect them as much as you would a regular coin? Quote
+GATOULIS Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I find micros very qute! some of the micros were such a heart breakers and they were sold out very quick, even if they were geting reminds! One of them.... The little rody! Never had a chance to get one... but it is amazing! ok, most of us like the big coins and I believe that is for the details they have and ok... the size... you feel it in your hands! Of course, this can be done wih micros too! there are many clever designs that your eye enjoy seeing them! what to mention... sea shell coins (I do not remember the name), Kansas sunshine, the Canada micros (there is a series and I love them!!! Ionly have the 2009 one but they are so cute!!!), the geonerds, the geojellies... amazing coins!!!! I have the feeling that there was a micro in real silver too!! So.. My opinion.... I love micros too!!!! Quote
+GATOULIS Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Hey... I forgot to mention something... How I can say.. I do not like micros.. if I am trying to find the smallest geocoin... for my collection??? I wanted to have the bigest, smallest, oldest (the first), the first shaped... The biggest is quite expensive... the oldest (moun10bike)... a dream... And I have no ides which one is the smallest and which one the first shaped, the first 3D coin... Many people love collecting the real silver ones! They have more value because of the metal... but they are probably very pretty too! I do not know.. never had a chance to get one... but.. if there is a silver micro... would they say no?? I do not think so! Maybe they will love it as their baby coin! Quote
+Nikon-ing Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I love micros. I set two free and they both disappeared. Broke my heart. I really want my beachball back. Micros are cute and generally cheaper than full-sized coins. Quote
Gamma Ray Posted April 16, 2010 Author Posted April 16, 2010 I ask as im looking at producing a micro as costs of a full coin may be a bit too high! Quote
+2LittleCache Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Micro are nice but they do fall to the end of my wanted list. Sorry, just being honest. But as always it all depends on the design! Quote
+ngrrfan Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 I prefer full size coins but there are some micros that have really caught my eye, specifically the Kansas Sunshine series. SO.... if a micro is eye catching, or has some sort of special meaning to me, I'll get one. Otherwise I'd rather have a full sized coin. Quote
+avroair Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 What do people think of micro coins? do ou buy/collect them as much as you would a regular coin? They are awesome. Nuff said. Quote
+GeocoinGuy Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) I ask as im looking at producing a micro as costs of a full coin may be a bit too high! That is a mis-conception - The only reason a full(er) sized coin cost so much is because the vendor prices it that way. <advertisement removed by moderator, this is a discussion thread> One must shop around to find cheaper and larger coins - ~J Edited April 19, 2010 by Eartha Quote
Firefly03 Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 I personally love micro coins. That being said, I would not pay the same price for it as I would for a full sized coin. Quote
+The Blorenges Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Have you seen the nano geocoins? Only ½" diameter... <advertisement removed by moderator, this is a discussion thread> MrsB Edited April 19, 2010 by Eartha Quote

The little rody! Never had a chance to get one... but it is amazing! Which Little Rhody are you after...the Clam or the Horseshoe Crab? And as a heads up, keep an eye out for this year's Little Rhody - the Fluke. Quote
+drneal Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 I like them a little...get it...a little. I know, it's sad. The voices in my head made me do it . ILYK Quote
+Fianccetto Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I love em. There's a lot of small size caches around us and so there's no problem moving them on, plus they can be cheaper and I appreciate intricate detail. Also, the weight of our geobag is starting to become an issue and each trip we have to decide what to leave behind, so smaller and lighter coins do help. The big hunks of metal have established their place in the caching world, but I prefer the small ones and would like to see some more. My favourite so far is the edelweiss, but haven't seen many. Now you've got me wondering what you have planning... Quote

Gamma Ray Posted April 19, 2010 Author Posted April 19, 2010 Now you've got me wondering what you have planning... Im not planning anything epic , I like what i've produced ideas wise, i'm just fine tuning my design before getting some quotes on it I hope people like it, its a fairly basic coin Quote

+GATOULIS Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) Have you seen the nano geocoins? Only ½" diameter... <advertisement removed by moderator, this is a discussion thread> MrsB ???Nano??? only 1/2" diameter??? Yuo mean 12.5 - 13mm???? I am probably wrong with the measures... because this is smaller than the 1 eurocent! WOW!!! It will look like an aspirin! Probably that is the smallest coin! hmmm.... Interesting! But I am probably wrong... it can not be that small! I am wondering how easy is to lose them! If many normal size coins are missplaced and you can not find them.... the nano coins... even a small child or a baby can swallow them!!!! Edited April 19, 2010 by GATOULIS Quote
+BBWolf+3Pigs Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Fluke?? Sorry for asking... but what is the fluke?? A fluke is like a flounder. Flukes and flounders are bottom dwelling, "flat" fish. The have both eyes on teh same side of their body. One has them on the right side, the other on the left side. And what's cool is they are born looking like normal fish, and their eyes "migrate" to the same side. Quote

Well here we eat the Sole fishes (fried filets of Sole fish, without any bones, and garlic sauce that we call... Scordalia!) :lol:both eys on the same side!!! That is what they mean when they say... keep your eyes 14 here in greece (meaning... stay alert) Thank you my friend! Quote

I haven't seen one myself but drneal has put a comparison picture in the post above. Another geocacher told me about them... I'd like to see one produced with British union flag on it. Eartha: Sorry about my earlier link to the sales site - I just used it for size comparison. MrsB Quote

ILYK Unfortunatelly I do not have your lovely coin but it is probably a normal size one right? WOW!! The nano is really small!!! It reminds me the playmobil pirate treasure coins! It is lovely!!!! I suppose it is hard to read the tracking number.... which probably be in the whole back side! Edited April 21, 2010 by GATOULIS Quote
