Geocache Description:

Another cache with a twist. You will need a tool, or tools, custom fashioned to retrieve this one. It is rather small without being strictly micro so its goodies are restricted to coins other than legal Kiwi tender.

Are you getting a little bored with all those run of the mill geo-caches?
You know, you walk a few hundred paces into a park or reserve, scrabble about in the foliage and then find the cache under the tree roots or behind the flax bush. OK, I have put in a few of them myself.

Well, this one's different!
It is very easy to drive to, and find the site for, this cache. You will not even have to bend over or get down on your knees, but some stealth may be required as muggles abound.

Now here is the difference. You will need tools for this one, tools that you will most likely have to manufacture yourself. Use some of that "good old Kiwi ingenuity" that our politicians carry on about.

OK it is not as if you need a forge and machine shop. A pair of pliers and a few bits and pieces is all that is required, but just taking along your trusty Swiss army knife will probably not suffice. A torch might be helpful and finding this cache will be almost as easy at night.

The cache is camo-painted, slightly smaller than a coke can, and when placed contained.
A Kiwi penny
A Kiwi one cent
A Dutch 5 ct
A Thai 1 Baht
A Thai 10 Baht

Due to the small size please restrict trades to COINS only please.
And make these OTHER than current NZ coins please. ( I hereby reserve the right to confiscate any legal tender placed in this cache!)

Accessing the cache is a 2-stage process as an "anti-muggle screen" is in place to protect it. Please replace both items exactly as found.
