What is a geocoin?

!

A geocoin can be many different things to many different people.   At their simplest level they are just a coin or trinket which folks collect.  Some geocoins are fun, some are artistic and beautiful, ALL geocoins are treasured by their owners and creators.

 

They become more exciting if you release them to "travel".  Each coin we produce has a unique tracking code. Anyone who finds the coin can enter this code online at  www.geocaching.com and find out where that coin has already travelled,  you can also follow it's journey on google earth.

The most common way to release a coin is to place it in a geocache, which leads us to the next question....... 

OK so what is a geocache and how do I find one?

A geocache is a hidden box or container, which you may seek to in order to either sign  a logbook (both in the box and online) to declare your visit. Some geocaches contain just a logbook, others may contain a range of items (swag) which you may trade for similar items?
