Current Goal

Well, I have sent trackables on missions all over the world so let’s pick one we haven't done yet. How about the Caribbean Islands?

I think this coin should travel around islands throughout the Caribbean, at least where there are caches anyway. From there, perhaps the finder could enjoy it for a while before sending it on to where ever they want. 

About This Item

 

I have chosen to call this coin a Lucky Slug where others call it simply a Travel Slug. In actuality, this coin's very name is a homonym and one that is not entirely accurate.

The word slug has a few different meanings, two of which are applied to this coin. A counterfeit coin is commonly called a slug as is an elongated and rounded piece of metal. To take it a step further, construction workers will call the round piece of metal punched out of electrical boxes a slug. While the metal references to the word slug are present, this coin is stamped with the image of a snail, a terrestrial gastropod with a shell. A terrestrial gastropod without a shell is called a slug.

I don't know why I am writing this random crap about this coin. At least is has a mission now.

Spotted this one in TB hotel I visited. It's in good shape, but I grabbed a different TB and didn't want to be greedy. Safe travels!
