Current Goal

This geocoin is a loggable geocoin placed on an information board about geocaching inside a pharmaceutical research plant in Mölndal in SWEDEN. The idea is to introduce geocaching as well Travel Bugs and similar like this quitie. The intention is to let it go out in the wide world when all my colleagues have become eagerly devoted geocachers.

 

However - from spring 2016 this little piggy will be released and go out for a tour.  The reason is that I will leave this job early spring.

About This Item

AZ trotters -  should be understood as AstraZeneca pigs feet.  My colleagues at the Medicinal Chemistry lab have got this (hardly) flattering nickname "trotters" as this describes how some labs look like.

The photo is not representative for a real trotter (GRISFOT in swedish, SCHWEINFUSS in german)...

Quite amazing - as I decided to NOT renew my premium membership any longer, suddenly I got e-mail telling that my now 12 years old coin is still circulating.
I thought that the piggy coin was lost several years ago as no more mails were coming...
