Mungerbees Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 I researched on geocoins and saw that they had numbers like a travelbug in a picture of the coin. Can you register them and track them [This message was edited by Mace Windu on February 21, 2003 at 08:35 PM.] Quote
+welch Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 My answer to both is Dont know. Have you tried contacting the maker/distribtor?? Quote
+Team Mixster Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 you can register them here. -Mixster Quote

+Eric K Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 The USA Geocoins work exactly like Travelbugs and can be tracked on the Groundspeak website. Click on the link at the end of this message for more info. Get your trackable USA geocoins at http://www.usageocoins.com Quote
+DustyJacket Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 I already activated the first of my GeoCoins and plan to release it tonight if I can get away. DustyJacket ...If life was fair, a banana split would cure cancer. Quote
+CWL Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 I've already ordered one of the USA geocoins and activated it: Chuck's Cache Cash I was reluctant to release it without a tag so I drilled a small hole and attached a key chain ring with a Travel Bug Sheet . It comes out 6 X 6 so I shunk it 50% at kinkos and laminated it. Quote
+Dad and the Dynamic Duo Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Just dropped off D³ USA Geocoin01 in our night-only cache (actually night easier as Greenback did it during the day just to say he did - look out for the next one though!) I bought a plastic coin holder for a buck at a coin store to put it in. Before I put the coin in the holder, I wrote on the inside of the holder (reversed like a mirror image) "Tracked just like a travel bug." with a extra fine Sharpie®. I put 2 small drops of super glue on one half and snapped the two halves together. This way the coin is protected and I avoid a hole being drilled. No where near as descriptive as having a TB type sheet though. I wonder if there would be any value in having a seperate icon for the coins on the cache page that is similar to the TB icon but looks like a coin? Perhaps that could be carried through to the tracking page. Seems that with the coins all having related tracking numbers (1nnnn), the system could easily identify a USA Geocoin as different from a traditional bug. George Quote
+Matt1344 Posted March 3, 2003 Posted March 3, 2003 I put one in Mel's Bench the cache I placed tonight. I mentioned it in my description and suggested the first finder take it as a prize. What they do with it is their business. I plan to do this for all my caches. Quote

George That would be a great idea if they could implement that. Have a seperate geocoin icon that would show up the same way a travel bug does when you look at a cache page or listing of caches. As someone that likes finding and moving travel bugs, I would also enjoy finding and moving geocoins. And having them appear as travel bugs do in cache listings sure would help to do this.

+Captain Morgan Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Poll results have disappeared during forum changes, so we all have to vote again... Quote
+flask Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 why is there a poll on this? it doesn't matter how you vote. you can track them, whether or not you vote that you can. is this a trick question? are you checking for alertness? it doesn't matter if you get to camp at one or at six. dinner is still at six.

Curious George Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 Up in Canada we can put code onto a cache page which will indicate that a Geocoin has been, or is currently in the cache. Take a look at this link I love the smell of Lock 'n Locks in the morning...they smell like $$$ Quote
