+Milbank Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I have not seen any Geo coins in my area or any other area's I have been caching in. A few day's ago someone placed a Geo coin in a cache about 30 miles from me. Today I went and got it! Preaty cool coin! I was thinking they would be more the size of a game token like you use in arcades. It's more like the size of a silver dollar. This coin is in a square protective case. Do they come this way when you buy them new or did the owner put it in the case? I also started our first TB today. Placed it in the same cache we got the Geo coin from. Now I'm thinking I need to buy some coins myself. Quote Link to comment
+Spencersb Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 (edited) Well, you're one up on me then! I've hunted about a dozen caches that were SUPPOSED to contain Geocoins, but have never actually found one! I think the cases are extra. I got an email yesterday that said they are taking pre-orders for the 2005 coins. Edited January 8, 2005 by Spencersb Quote Link to comment
+Team ARK-ville Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Geocoins are a super nice item. I started out with two of them before switching to the travel bug tags. Be prepared to loose your coins. One of mine has gone missing in a very short time. They make nice collectibles. If you want to try to avoid someone keeping the coin drill a hole in it, this will make it less desirable. Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I've never seen one, either. I haven't gone out of my way looking for one, but I've been to several caches where they were supposed to be, and my curiosity is getting a bit plinked. Quote Link to comment

+fly46 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I've never seen the regular coin, just the Moun10Bike one. Quote Link to comment

2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 How much do they cost? They are really nice looking...if they are not more than a Travel Bug, they would make fantastic First to Find prizes. Shirley~ Quote Link to comment

They'd make pretty good FTF prizes, but beware when using them as travel bugs, they disappear faster! USA Geocoins Edited January 10, 2005 by Spencersb Quote Link to comment
+strikeforce1 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Geo Coins are available from many states. I know of several states that have them, Southern California, Mass, NY, several in the Northwest, east and west of the Ohio Valley area, and in the South East. Also, there are some from up North in Canada, as well. Follow this link, on another forum thread discussing them, http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...dpost&p=1228137 , to see many of the states listed. SF1 Quote Link to comment
