Current Goal

Thanks for picking me up! On the front this geocoin shows the flag of the Netherlands. On the back you see the location of the Netherlands in Europe.

As the Dutch have been very important in the history of the United States of America, this coin is to represent the bond between those two countries.

My mission is to visit all of the 50 states in the USA and then return to my owner in the Netherlands, preferably to the cache "Milligerplas". Beacuse of the size of this coin, it really fits nice in a micro cache...

Below you find the list of states that this coin did not visit yet.

About This Item

The Netherlands is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, located mainly in North-West Europe and with several islands in the Caribbean. Mainland Netherlands borders the North Sea to the north and west, Belgium to the south, and Germany to the east, and shares maritime borders  with Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. It is a parliamentary democracy organised as a unitary state. The country capital is Amsterdam and the seat of government is The Hague. The Netherlands in its entirety is often referred to as Holland, although North and South Holland are actually only two of its twelve provinces.
 
The Netherlands is a geographically low-lying country, with about 25% of its area and 21% of its population located below sea level, and 50% of its land lying less than one metre above sea level. This distinct feature contributes to the country's name in many other European languages (e.g. German: Niederlande, Croatian: Nizozemska, French: Les Pays-Bas, Italian: Paesi Bassi and Spanish: Países Bajos, literally mean "(The) Low Countries"). Significant land area has been gained through land reclamation and preserved through an elaborate system of polders and dikes. Much of the Netherlands is formed by the estuary of three important European rivers, which together with their distributaries form the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta. Most of the country is very flat, with the exception of foothills in the far southeast and several low-hill ranges in the central parts.

    Will bring it closer to its goal. Just too bad I didn't pick it up last week as we headed to Vermont. Oh well, I'm sure it will travel to the USA sooner than later.
