+klien Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Dont get me wrong the coins sold at the block party 2012 are amazing looking coins as someone who is just starting to collect though i found it strange that the 4 coins sold at the block party had no special icons. as someone who spent money to get there and go to my first mega event on sunday and the block party i found it strange that only 1 out of four had an icon.. am i missing something? I tried searching the forums without seeing any information.. maybe icons for these coins are not in the system yet? Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Depending on the vendor and if the coin was a brand new release item, an icon can take several months to be submitted and then propagate. If it's the coin I am thinking of, it will have an icon. I just wouldn't expect to see one till Nov/Dec. Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Not everyone is an icon-ho. If you scroll through the list of "All Geocoins" on the Geocoin Information Page you'll find many coin makers did not choose to add a custom icon. Edited August 28, 2012 by Droo Quote Link to comment
Love Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 There will be icons for the coins sold at the Merch booth at the Block Party. Quote Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Groundspeak produces their own coins most of the time. The cache addict coins were the ones I originally thought you were asking about. They will have an icon. Just not immediately. Quote Link to comment

Geocachers I meet in person are the nicest bunch of people... so why are there so many rude geocachers posting on these forums? Calling someone a "ho" is inexcusable, in my opinion. And so what if someone is in the game for the icons? Let them play it their way, and you go play it yours. Quote Link to comment

Love Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I just loaded the icons for the Lackey, Block Party coin/tag and Mega Tour coin yesterday. They should all be showing by now, but if you see any that aren't showing properly please let me know. Quote Link to comment
