a-pro Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Hey saw this thing posted on a cache, what the heck is it, I can not seem to find any information on it. Thanks, pgocon Quote Link to comment
+MrCOgeo Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 (edited) The USA GeoCoins are trackable just like other Travel Bugs. People leave them in caches with the hope of them moving from cache to cache and people logging that on the website. The bonus, if you are into the "numbers" game, is a little icon of a coin on your user stats and of course the warm feeling you are playing nice with other people's hard earned money which they spend on little trinkets for this game. More information can be found here: http://www.usageocoins.com/ EDIT: fur speling Edited July 22, 2004 by MRCOGEO Quote Link to comment
+Eric K Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 USA Geocoins work exactly like Travelbugs. If you are unfamiliar with Travelbugs from the main geocaching.com webpage there is a link on the left with Travelbug information. Quote Link to comment
+Desert Kat & Catdaddy Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 My concern is that there is NO address, NO phone, NO names... NOTHING about the company on the website. There is an email address, but we all know how easy it is to get one of those. I wanted to order some geocoins, but decided not to because of all the concerns listed above AND the fact that the website seems to be thrown together, nothing professional (read: legitimate business) about it. Also, on their geocaching page, again NOTHING listed. Location? America. Hmmm, makes me wonder. Has anyone ordered from this site? Has anyone found any info on this "company?" Quote Link to comment
+hollora Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 This is not a formal endorsement for USAGeocoins - just to answer Desert Kat * Katdaddy's post. I have ordered coins from this site. What ? The little travel suitcases (very nice), some IFRM coins (again - very nice), some Christmas coins last year (nice) - and some of the "In Memory" soldier coins (which are pre-activated and you don't own). I have never had a problem with the quality of the coin or delivery issues. Some of the other coins they offer are available directly through Groundspeak. If you are in the USA - that is your best option for ordering. But, in respect to the vendor - Groundspeak does not ship/deliver out of the USA so this vendor is offering this as a service to out out of USA friends. This site is endorsed as a secondary vendor for Groundspeak ites. Always wise to beware of purchases on line. Just my experience - no problems for me. Quote Link to comment

I have ordered from this company on many occasions, and have always received excellent service. I also got to meet the owner and his family at GCF. They are just all around great people!

+BVnLJ Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 They are "WAY OK" in my book to deal with. Have always replied to emails, (even when the help I needed didn't involve one of their coins they still took the time to help me resolve the problem with finding an activation code). Coins I've bought from them are a good price and always arrive on time. Met them at the GCF here in Pittsburgh last year and are very nice people. I like em' !!! : ) Quote Link to comment

+Desert Kat & Catdaddy Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Thank you everyone for your comments. It sounds like usa geocoins is a good company after all. And those suitcases ARE cute. I'll give it a try. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 You can always check the pinned threads at the top of the geocoin forums for the Groundspeak Approved Vendors list. USA geocoins has been on that list for quite a while. Vendors do get removed from the list if they engage in poor business practices with this community. Quote Link to comment
