Yeah they have conflicting information posted on their page.

Sounds like a fun time either way…

Did I misread the announcement? It sounded like there are no new icons that you can actually earn? You still get the same ole event/mega event icon?

I didn’t read the details. I was just sharing what I get mostly which is people leaving some trinket and taking a geocoin. (and then usually not moving it)

Left plastic ring. Took geocoin.

Is that about it?

I get this all the time on mine especially after stocking one of them up with geocoins.

Doesn’t that kinda look like a camel in that picture?

I always move trackables but very rarely trade them. I just pick one up and move it somewhere else. Sometimes I’ll trade. It just depends. I don’t believe in trackable jail cells. I like to see them moving around and keep them moving.

No this is not an explosive device in my pocket. It’s a geocache!

You can design the shape to be appealing from both sides and it still look like Wisconsin.

Keep those ideas coming in everyone!!

And don’t forget to submit your finished designs to geocoin2010 wi geocaching com.

I like some of the concepts, but I don’t like the coins in the shape of Wisconsin. If our state was shaped like Colorado I’d be OK with it.
I’d prefer a round or square coin with the state superimposed on the front and/or back.

With elaborate designs on both the front & back, I can see some geography challenged cachers (I believe they may exist) mistaking the front for the back and vise versa.

In my travels all around the country, you wouldn’t believe how many people I’ve met that have absolutely no idea where Wisconsin even is! Most of them say something like, “Thats like next to Canada, ain’t it?”

Interesting take on it.

I guess I would have to say that the decision was made by the board for a state shaped coin, in part because of member requests, in part because they will likely sell well, and in part because we have not done that yet.

Anyway, the decision to have it shaped like the state is a done deal at this point, and I look forward to the way that designers work within this limitation.

I wouldn’t call it a limitation.

Ummmm..what’s difference if it’s shaped like a cow or the state?

A real life cow is a 3-Dimensional object that can be viewed from any angle, even underneath or behind if you’re brave enough.

Wisconsin, as we recognize it, is a 2-Dimensional shape viewed on a map.
Seeing the shape of Wisconsin reversed 180 degrees makes my head hurt.

So do you have a design you’d like to share?
