I aggressively collected geocoins from May 2006 through to the end of 2008. Presented here are 986 of the approximately 1,040 geocoins I acquired during the frenzy.

CachingCoins "Nickells"

CachingCoins

The front of the geocoin says "You've found a piece of CACHINGCOINS' treasure" and CachingCoins -- a geocaching couple from somewhere in the U.S. -- want to see these geocoins travelling around. There were 600 pairs of them issued and the pair were sold for $4.99, which is phenomenal considering there is only $3.50 left to mint the geocoin after Groundspeak takes their cut for the tracking code. The second geocoin has a duplicate code, but the PC prefix is replaced by a dash. This one is meant to stay at home in the collection, while the other geocoin travels. It's a neat piece, and I'll put one out in the wild to see how long it can survive.
