This "A Thrifty Moment" coin is dedicated to Dicko, DJCache, Embi, Team Crackers, fullonphil, Spruce Mooses, Maccamob, Juzmac, Biggles Bear, Pyrenese Kid, Mikita, Micaparamedic, PPrass. for without their company a Thrifty Moment would only be a Toyota "Bugger Me".

About This Item

The origins of a Thrifty moment lies high on a hill in the Victorian Alpine Region and was based on tourists touring in a Thrifty Rent-a-4wd without a radio, water, food and running on road tyres. This was a combination for disaster and to cut a long story short a Thrifty moment was born.
This coin would like to travel to remote caches and I don't care if it sits there for some time, and there is no rush to keep it in a moving frenzy.
THERE IS HOWEVER ONE CATCH TO LOGGING THIS COIN:
The finder and mover needs to add their own Thrifty Moment to the found/discovered. Your Thrifty Moment is about getting into a pickle or Jam, this could be a camping trip, 4wd trip, or even a bad moment around the house. Examples range from eating a wasp sandwich, Caching with punctured Tyres for just one more cache, driving 30 kilometres back to get the GPS, parking in the wrong parking bays, backing into posts, forgetting to select 4wd in sand etc, etc.
So go ahead a move the coin but don't forget to log your thrifty moment or the move will be deleted.
Regards Mr.Coffee and the "I didn't get this coin for a Thrifty Moment I was just given it, honest" Clan.

Reluctantly, I am first to discover this coin. It seems I cant not avoid it as there is too much evidence in the photographic medium that will dispute that I should log it. So unfortunately here is my admission that yes, I have had "A Thrifty Moment".

See photo's for the moment of truth.
