Current Goal

Ursprünglich kaufte das Team horsegeeks aus North Carolina diese Geocoin.
Im November 2009 übernahm die Geocacherin und Coinliebhaberin amtg aka Kathleen aus Florida diese Münze.

Um auch anderen Cachern die Freude des Entdeckens neuer Geocoins zu machen, schickte amtg eine Kopie der Münze auf Reise und zeigte das Original bei Events.
Als sich Kathleen im Sommer 2025 schweren Herzens entschloss, ihre große Geocoinsammlung aufzulösen, hatte Compubaer das Glück, die nun schon knapp 20 Jahre alte Geocoin adoptieren zu können, damit sie ihre Geschichte zukünftig hier im deutschsprachigen Raum erzählen kann.  

About This Item

Japan Geocoin

Diese 38 x 3,5 mm große Geocoin wurde vom Geocacher Square Bear, der in Mount Vernon, WA, lebt und im Frühjahr 2006 wenige Monate in Japan war, im März 2006 im Geocaching-Forum vorgestellt. Die Fertigung der 500 Coins in Nickel übernahm der GeoCoinstore.

Auf der Coin sind Symbole Japans abgebildet, die der Geocacher seit seiner Ankunft gelernt hatte.
So zeigt die Front die 4 Hauptinseln Japans vor einer roten, aufgehenden Sonne.
Im umlaufenden Ring steht folgerichtig "GEOCACHING IN THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN".
Im Zentrum der Rückseite schwimmen auf blauem Hintergrund zwei Koikarpfen um das vierfarbige Groundspeaklogo herum.

Thanks to the 2023 Christmas Day blizzard my daughter, JMVonFange, was delayed in heading home so we spent the bonus time together comparing our caching statistics including trackables discovered and looking through our geocaching pictures. JM has discovered significantly more trackables that I have mainly because while we were staying home during the pandemic she spent time online and spotted numerous TBs that were being shared virtually on various social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, etc. Thankfully, she still had a few notes that helped guide my search for the same trackables that she had already discovered. After looking at the TB page for each of the TBs that she had discovered, I found that a large number all belonged to several individuals and sent a message to them individually inquiring about permission to log their trackables. This travel bug was on the list that you shared with me.
