+Nurse Dave Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 That is of course if you're asking about the USA geocoins. There are also ones from Oregon, Texas, California, Canada, Moun10bike......... Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Many cachers also create their own using Sculpey clay. An example would be my horridly unartistic one. Quote Link to comment
+Chazman007 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Yeah good luck with the USA coins, 3 out of 4 of mine have come up missing. One cacher lost one with her luggage and two have just disappeared in Utah somewhere. Quote Link to comment
+BadAndy Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Even though Geocoins have a tracking number and are treated as travelbugs on the website, I think many cachers see them as collectables. Quote Link to comment
+BadAndy Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 As soon as I posted above...I checked on my latest geocoin. Looks like it vanished after only one drop and less than 2 weeks after being released. Maybe it'll crop back up. Quote Link to comment
+Trailwalker2 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 In my geocoin pages I made it specific that no one could keep them, in some cases i put that they had to hit a certain amount of miles before they can be kept. -Trailwalker Quote Link to comment
+LETaylor Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I looked into having some minted but decided to purchase 2-3 from several of those who already have them made up. An initial production run can easily cost six to eight hundred dollars. I've placed orders with Canada, Alabama, and Green Man. Still to buy from Texas and California after this initial order is placed out. I'm a bit concerned about people just pocketing them but part of the solution is to make sure that there are enough of them out there to pass around. Quote Link to comment
+Eric K Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I was just wondering the other day what the oldest USA Geocoin out there may be. I did find this one 38th Geocoin . This was the 38th Geocoin made. I was wondering if anyone knows of any older ones that may still be going around. Quote Link to comment
+1setter Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I have one in my possesion that says it is from the state of Missouri. There is nothing with it that says where to go to log it. It does have a number, but no amount of searching has come up with a site that recognizes the number. I think I will keep it until I read something to help me out. Quote Link to comment

I didn't see it on this list but it is the best source I've found so far on all the Geocoins that are out there. Team Fisur's Geocoins Link Quote Link to comment
+loonylady Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 THANK YOU FOR INFO ON COINS I JUST ORDERED A COUPLE AND THINK THAT THEY ARE REALLY A SUPER COOL IDEA. Quote Link to comment
+The Gowen Family Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 You might try a google search for Geocoins. We have done several searches when we wanted to have coins made and found pleanty of sites. Now we are making our own elongated geocoins. Quote Link to comment
Warbones Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 So I can get some clay and make my own? I was looking at some and can see how they could be a collectable. They are pretty cool. If I decide to get some I will try and write something to send with mine on the importance of its journey. The people that send it on it's way play a special part in the completion of its task. By logging it in they in turn become a part of history so to speak. Quote Link to comment

Now we are making our own elongated geocoins. How are you making an elongated coin? Your talking about squashing it like they do in a penny press right? Quote Link to comment
+DamOTclese Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 http://www.usageocoins.com/ At five bucks each it's too much. Wooden tokens seem a better choice. Quote Link to comment
+The Weasel Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I have bought 3 or 4 geocoins, and they will be the last ones I buy. only 2 of the 4 I have released are still out and about. I have 15 TB tags and all of them are ok or in my possesion. Why the geocoins are way better and cooler, it makes them more apt to be stolen. I would rather pay the same for the regular ole tags so I know they will be around longer. Quote Link to comment
+joefrog Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Yep, don't forget the Alabama geocoins! We've got 'em on order now, and it's not too late to get yours! Alacache.com Quote Link to comment
