This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Enigma Geocoin is a Enigma Geocoin Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

This coin is dedicated to Arthur Scherbius (1878-1929), the brilliant inventor of the Enigma cipher machine.

This geocoin is designed to look like a rotor from an Enigma cipher machine and has a coded message on it's back that can be decoded using an Enigma M2114 (aka Kriegsmarine M3).  Fortunately all the machine settings needed to decode this message are provided on the front of the geocoin, so you won't need to risk your life to capture them.  Enigma machines are rare and valueable, many of them were destroyed during the war and very few were ever captured intact.  Luckily today there are several accurate computer simulations of these machines available, so everyone can still have access to one of these rare and once secret cipher machines and try to decode this coin, even though there are only a few real ones still in operating condition.

This geocoin wants to visit difficult puzzle caches around the world, and be discovered by any geocachers who solve Enigma puzzles.  Try to get pictures at famous codebreaking centers past and present.  Especially Biuro Szyfrów (Poland) and Bletchley Park (England) where the Enigma codes were broken.

If you can sucessfully decode the enigma message on the back of this geocoin, try to place or visit this coin at that secret cache's location also.
