Geocoin

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 icon_biggrin.gif - 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.

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.

I have been informed that is in the works and hopefully should be happening soon.

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.

Wow, one of the first Geocoins to go into the wild and was never moved:

I guess things never change.
