What's the difference between collectible and non collectible Geocoin?

"Collectible" is a selection for the convenience of a Trackable Owner, the first step in removing his Trackable from his Inventory list and having it placed into a personal digital storage area called the "Collection". Typically, this is done to organize a large coin collection when the coins won't be placed into cache containers to travel, but it can be used in many ways. Most people don't need to use the feature, and it can cause problems & confusion if selected unwisely.

 

If you find a Geocoin in a cache that is set to "Collectible", contact the Owner and suggest they set it to "Not Collectible". It's best to use that setting only while actively working to get the coin into a Collection (yours or someone else's). Remember that it's a feature for the coin owner's convenience, and the coin remains the property of the coin owner before and after it's moved to a "Collection".

 

If you are placing your Trackable into a cache to travel cache-to-cache, don't mess with the "Collectible" setting. If you already messed with it , set it to "Not Collectible".
