+lobotomy Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I have not noticed one before, but I wanted to cast a net out and see what I catch: Has anyone out there seen a coin that uses a FEZ as the icon. I am interested in trying to buy/trade/acquire an unactivated one if possible. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) I have not noticed one before, but I wanted to cast a net out and see what I catch: Has anyone out there seen a coin that uses a FEZ as the icon. I am interested in trying to buy/trade/acquire an unactivated one if possible. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. Go to this link and click on the All Geocoins tab. Then, go get a cup of coffee, and wait for it to load. Edited August 21, 2012 by Shop99er Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I've never seen a fez geocoin anywhere. If you do a google images search for 'fez geocoin' you don't see any images of one. If you do a google images search for 'Turkey geocoin' you get a few Thanksgiving geocoins. The above three statements do not prove that there isn't a fez geocoin - but I think it's unlikely.

MrsB I wouldn't search for 'Turkey' and 'fez'. As I understand it, the wearing the fez has been outlawed in Turkey since it was founded under Ataturk (after the Ottoman Empire). Perhaps Moroocco? But either way, I don't think an icon, or fez coin exists. Quote Link to comment
+mamoreb Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 When I first saw this topic, I was almost sure that the OP was looking for the PEZ geocoin... But the icon doesn't look very much like PEZ (the candy item), but rather PEZ the geocacher. http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=581566 Quote Link to comment

I think that the "SLAB" team should design one for gifts at the next Champoeg Event. Hint....hint...wink....wink Quote Link to comment
+lobotomy Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well.....fez me......i was willing to trade a SLAB for a FEZ Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I keep thinking that there was a coin once made to honor the Shriners in their miniature cars driving around in circles at parades wearing fezes. And for some reason I keep thinking that Atlanta Gal had something to do with it. But I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment
