about the geocoin
|
|
"have you got your coordinates?" sometimes it takes a while, especially for mystery caches.
the front side shows a figure chaos with following types: NESW, thrice 0 though 9, two degree signs, and two dots, that is:
NESW000111222333444555666777888
999000..°°
you can make up quite some possible coordinates, but not all of them. but hey, this is a coin, it's also about art ...
following two cachers have helped doing the coloring: kim (vanelle, usa), and denise (geoks, canada). as well as tenemet (switzerland) for some newer editions. thanks to them. inspiration for “spectrum” by chris (derPathe, germany).
originally it was not planned to publish 7 coins (for the initial batch), but it just got this way. in this huge selection, there is sure one coin that appeals to your taste. more editions were added yearly, as this coin has became quite popular.
in the meantime, there are 20 differnt editions.
