Oh sorry, that was a misunderstanding. I just told there was no hurry and therefore thought the cache-owner always wanted to do so. Didn't realize that the copy was already destroyed. 🤭

Thank you so much for your help! 🙂

Since you gave your report at tb-rescue.com you already should have earned your rescue-point. I will mark it as missing now.

As per the request from the owner we destroyed the coin in the spring. He just needs to remove it from the inventory.

Hi there Christine and Sylvain

I am a registered TB rescuer from the TB rescue site and I've had a request to go to one of your caches and pick up a counterfeit Ethiopian coin and if it is a fake, to destroy it.
I've already done the cache that its in, but its a multi and I really don't want to start from scratch so may I please ask for the final coordinates? Thanks.

Many thanks

[blue]If I got it right a chicken-hearted as****e has stolen my coin and replaced it with a cheap poker chip.
Thanks to allie_gator2006 for the information.[/blue]
[blue]Unfortunately the copy has been dropped before I could react.[/blue] [red]So I got a kind request to the next cacher who retrieves this copy: If it's not the original coin (like the picture above, like a ring with runic inscription) but a copy, [b][i]please destroy this copy[/i][/b] and let me know.[/red] [blue]I never send copies and don't want one of my coins travelling as a copy. Even if the original is stolen. Thanks for your help in advance!!![/blue]

Not sure we have the coin.. but a representation of the coin, which we move on. It looks like a poker chip with 2 sets of numbers. We will move on.

That's bad news. But thank you very much for having a look and trying to rescue my coin. Maybe it will show up again some day...
I'll set it to "missing" so that you can earn the rescue-point at tb-rescue.com.

Thanks again and greetings from Germany

Tried to run out and rescue this fella. Arrived at the cache and sadly the TB was no longer there. Spoke to the cache owner and he too has tried to track down the TB with out success.
