Oregon 2003 geocoin question

[+2bugs]

I'm updating my available list and came across the 2003 and 2004 Oregon geocoins. Are these the oldest geocoins? I'm not sure when M10Bike ver1 came out, it may be older but I don't know.

here is a link that you may find handy -

it is my understanding that it has the coins listed in approximately the order that they were made and/or released

 

the maker of the list put their own coin at the top of the list

(and rightly so - they went to the trouble of making the list)

and the rest of the coins are listed in the order that they became aware of them

but it is supposedly very close to an ordered history of early geocoins

 

most of the coins on this list are not trackable

 

if you are interested in GC.com trackable items, then this is my understanding of the order -

travel bugs

moun10bike geocoins

USA geocoins

- a long gap -

yellow Jeep Wrangler

Germany geocoin

Colorado geocoin

a big flood of many others

it is so cool to be reminded again of the wonderful "oldies" - some of which i would love to own. like the dhobby, indy V1, avroair v1, waypoint 15, dhenninger. maybe as we get further away from those - and it seems people are not so interested in them - they will be easier to acquire.

MBv1 was first placed in Light House Point (GC126C) --- Sept 30th 2001.

Here is the list of older trackable coins:

moun10bike v1

USA 2003

USA 2004

moun10bike v2

GeoWoodstock 3 --- Florida

MWGB 2005

Germany

Colorado 2005

GCC Club First Finders Dance

New Jersey 2005

Maryland

GCC Ammo Can

Michigan MIGO 2005

Ohio 2005

New York 2005

Delaware 2005

Fotomom - first trackable personal other than moun10bike

Avroair v2, Kilted Cacher

 

You can't go by the icons, because they are only when the icon was paid for and loaded, not when the coin came out. Coins like New Jersey took a while to pay for the icon. Others such as the GCC club shared the same icon (much to my disgust when I activated two coins!)

Team Fisur put up an interesting site, the coins are not in order of minting but rather when he heard about them. Nonetheless it's an awesome resource:
