Current Goal

Since spare change is easy to carry around anywhere you go, take these coins on your travels, near or far. Add a coin and upload an image if you wish. Add your own state quarter to the ring. Maybe this bug can one day afford a trip back home. For now it depends on you to get it around. This bus starts off where I grew up and I hope it travels as far and wide as I've been able to do.

About This Item

Spare Change Travel Bug

This bug starts off as a key ring with a Sacagawea dollar coin and a Virginia Quarter. The Virginia Quarter represents the starting point and my home state. I grew up in Waynesboro, Virginia, the original location of the Bug. Maybe someday it will be loaded with other coins, maybe even foreign ones it has picked up as it visits around the globe. Feel free to add to the collection.

This is very good news, Ranubis! So, someone has picked the TB and simply failed to write the log. This also means that the cache has not been compromised after all. This is very good news indeed!
[OK, and what about the other missing goodies in the cache? Now I believe that was the result of multiple "good faith" swaps.]

Unfortunately this long-lived TB have been stolen from the Fonte das Ficheiras cache, a cache I own. According to the logs, the TB must have disappeared between 11/Oct/2008 and 14/Oct/2008.

I personally checked the cache on 26/Oct and, besides the missing ring of coins, all of the best goodies in the cache were also missing; however, the TB's small purse was still in the container! I was able to visit the cache again on 16/Nov, and the purse was now missing, with no corresponding log on the page of the cache.

Probably the cache has been vampirized by some muggle during a period of time. I pondered disabling the cache, but didn't do that because the undesired visits seemed to have stop, at least for the time being.

Requiescat in pace TB Spare Change.
