NurseDave that’s a great site to view a whole bunch of coins.

**** important question for who ever can answer ****

I looking at the back of the coins and was going to create something similar to the coin shown below. But here my dilemma.
The ground speak logo as I understand can be used. But on other coins I seen they all say “Used with permission from groundspeak.com”. I think this is odd since the use of logos are not commonly accompanied by such verbiage unless on a printed document.

So, my main question here is this verbiage required by groundspeak or can their logo be used and the copyright symbol be placed next to it.

I ask this because I think the verbiage is redundant since its a metal coin and regardless if the logo was used with or without permission its permanently made in the coin.

This is important to me since I feel this effects the look of the coin. If the verbiage “Used with permission from groundspeak.com” is required I rather leave their logo off.

Please let me know……

This can be determined by using a variation of the Drake Equation.

T = T* fp ne fl fi fc fL

T* represents the number of tress on earth

fp is the fraction of tress that are accessible to men

ne is the number of tress per square mile capable of holding a cache

fl is the fraction of trees in ne where that can be reached.

fi is the fraction of fl where decent size holes form

fc is the fraction of fi that are found by man

fL is fraction of the trees life during which the cachers see them.

T, the number of practical trees capable of a cache in the world.

aagghhh that’s annoying. Wonder how they all were changed,. 🙁 Thanks for the tip.

This one is my favorite so far. This was taken during the WGA campout.

Can we include a couple of icons that say geocaching and/or Wisconsin? For example (not all of these) trails, trees, lakes, rivers, hills, GPS satellites, cheese, cows.

I will try to work up another design or two at max over the next week. I don’t mind hitting up manufactures for quotes once we have a design we are set on. Makes it easier for them to give a accurate price once they see the work that needs to be completed.

I will also post a back design for the coins as well in the near future.

Ok well I had the time, usually do, so I made 2 basic designs and have two variations of those. This would just be the side that distinguishes its state. The other side would be basic and contain the tracking number. I figure I put this out to get the ball rolling. I can provide more info for anyone who cares.

Let me know if anyone wants to see them.

I would love to.

Just not sure if I can make it to the picnic yet.

[PCFrog]

So where does this stand now?

Is someone working a design?
Are people just supposed to submit designs?
Are they going to be trackable?
Who is spearheading this?

I looked over the post and this discussion dates back to 2002. I would hate this to become a dead subject and in two years resurface again. If this project is to go forward WGA must face the fact it will cost a lot of money upfront regardless of a coin having a number, in color, being pressed or casted. Oppss getting off subject… Anyhow I’ am interested and willing to provide my time into the matter. While I don’t consider myself as an expert, I have a pretty good background doing such projects for several years in the Navy.

How odd!!!! I really thought this was already a rule. I went back to Geocaching.com and could not find it mentioned in the Cache Listing Requirements/Guidelines ( http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#maint ) and the Hiding Your First Geocache ( http://www.geocaching.com/about/hiding.aspx ) pages at all.

Unless I missed it, I’m wondering where I think I read it.

That would be interesting — I only know of one so far. GCKCVW – Stranded in Sherwood

Just a quick info question. How do you get the icons on the listing? Dogs, thorns, time limited…

[PCFrog]

Well unfortunately little to far for my taste atm not to mention I never been in that area as well. I will be running around in Pensacola Fl in a few weeks doing the cache thing there The heat will probably kill me.

Hope some in the area or closer than I can meet up with ya.

When I have an empty tin it at times gets used for aircraft parts, car parts, ink pens, electronic devices, medical equipment, and other wide assortment of items.

Ok, I bet you want to know how…

I throw it in the recycle bin.
