Geocache Description:

Large microcache containing foreign coins for trading.

The first Coin Currency Exchange was muggled, so I decided to recreate it in a safer spot.

This cache gets its name from its small, but "valuable", contents - a small assortment of foreign coins located in a prescription bottle (2" x 3.5"). Any coins that are taken from the cache must be replaced with other coins from foreign countries. (Yes, Canada is a foreign country. However, Canadian coins will not count in this case since there are many of them already in circulation in this country!) Try to be creative and place coins from countries not yet seen in the cache.

This cache is to serve as a currency exchange in theory only. This means if you take three coins, you should leave at least three coins, regardless of their respective values. In other words, there should always be at least the same number of coins after you leave as there were when you found the cache. Coins larger than 1.25" in diameter won't fit. Please log your trades on the website.

You'll need to bring your own pen to sign the log. Please be sure to re-hide it appropriately when you're done. Good luck and happy trading!
