About This Item

4 racing Geocoins

A friend of mine was travelling to Asia in 2014 and visiting four countries. In each visited country he dropped a Dutch Geocoin, Geocoins showing Dutch icons:

Annie M.G. Schmidt, writer of children's books
Vincent van Gogh, painter
Tom Poes & Olivier B. Bommel, the main characters of comic book series by Maarten Toonder
Johannes Vermeer, painter

Mission of these 4 coins: Race back to the Netherlands,

This Johannes Vermeer-geocoin reached it's destination. We picked it up nearby and kept in for a while, visiting several geocaches. In 2021 during a holiday we took it abroad again and dropped it somewhere  to let it travel home to The Netherlands again.

What happened to the other 3 geocoins?
Vincent van Gogh went missing in Norway. Olivier B. Bommel went missing in Leiden, nearby our home.
And Annie M.G. Schmidt is since 2015 in the inventory of a geocacher who occasionally logs a geocache but does nothing with this geocoin. Since 2016 we have periodically send messages to that person but no reaction yet. I hope not but perhaps Annie M.G. Schmidt can be labeled as missing as well.
