Look what swam by!

WOW, this little dorkfish just swam by The Cachebug.com Geocoin Vault. A truly rare species of dorkfish. What ever you do never count out raw begging to get what you want :D Thanks so much Dorkfish, these are hands down the best non-trackable I have ever seen! What is The Geocoin Vault you ask? Why The official geocoin trading cache of The Cachebug of course ;D

07 Compass Rose Satin Gold preorder

USA geocoins is going to sell the satin gold Compass Rose. The best part is you can prepay for one if you are willing to fill out a form and plop a check in the mail. This will be check or money order only. Go here and print out the form. So far this is the only way to guarantee an 07 Compass Rose. If you just want to "reserve" a satin gold coin you can go here (But it does not guarantee you will get it so I don't know why you would). The other finishes will be at coinsandpins.com. All of these coins will be available in a 4-8 week time frame. Last year the coins flew out of the store. But, it seems that coinsandpins is buying in more quantity these days so I doubt there will be shortages this time.

Crake's Geohana

There was a great slice of info about this coin over in the forums. This geocoin is being made after a toke made by Honolulu Rapid Transit company in 1951 to be used as 10 cent bus fare. It seems the coins were to expensive and people just pocketed them as souvenirs so this disappeared after 1951. But thankfully you read the Cachebug today! There are about 10 of the original coins here for a nice low $3.99 plus a buck shipping! So for a short time you get the chance to see what this cool geocoin was minted after. :D
