THE FOREIGN CURRENCY CACHE 2!! Runcorn, Queensland, Australia
By CommunistOnions on 18-Oct-20. Waypoint GC91FXW

As discussed with the prior CO - best to let this one go and start again with a different approach. Thanks for all the finders.

Logging the geocaches I once owned as finds since I hid them.

THE FOREIGN CURRENCY CACHE 2!! was transferred from CommunistOnions to user oz_bean_counter

Looks like the sabotager put spiders inside.

I found this with a friend (Lumiya), but couldn't sign the guest log inside it. So far it has been our most challenging find but sadly the rim of the lid was writhing with young Huntsmen that we couldn't seem to get rid of. I recommend bringing some fly spray if you want to spend a bit of time exploring the contents

ITS TIME TO STOP!
This cache has been looted recently. Please take these caches seriously and stick to the theme and stop putting worthless objects (e.g a rock?) in place of valuables. I was alerted by a previous finder of this behaviour and I think that it was done by an individual who also put water in my cache. I check this cache often and even many times before storms happen. To whoever is destroying my caches, you will be found out one day and thanks so much to the finder that alerted me of this behaviour.

Couldn't write on log as it is too wet.

Might archive as no coin swaps have ever occurred ever or happened a long time ago. Tired of people treating these caches like trash and not taking them seriously.

Drained water out.

Chill. You are being hypocritical as in the forums, you said to stop posting maintenance and archival logs. Cannot maintain. Whoever wants to can message me. May I ask where you found details about this cache?

This cache is in disgusting condition. It is thoroughly soaked - as indicated by the last log almost three weeks ago. No owner maintenance has occurred. Further, the cache container is not suitable and will continue to become soggy within days of log replacement unless the cache container is replaced with something more waterproof. You are clearly aware of the maintenance requirements, given your fondness for reporting other caches. So please DO MAINTENANCE ON YOUR OWN CACHES.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

IMPORTANT
Constant maintenance issues, finders complaining about their logs, lack of coin trades and popularity, having to keep replenishing coins, looting by finders and the possible presence of a sabotaging group makes me consider archiving this cache. Unless some person decides to help or this cache becomes as popular as this cache near Brisbane (GC4055X) or even just the 6th cache is this series, this cache might have to meet its demise.

Nobody has found this cache in a while. And nobody has swapped coins in it in a even longer time. What is with people finding nearby caches and avoiding mine? Is there some sort of anti coin cache group? Because it seems like there is.

As we all know, there is some issues going on with certain people that call themselves geocachers (or might be some gang members) that are ruining the game for everyone. I will try to come to check and help fix this one soon. Such a shame. I will keep this one going I promise! If you want to help maintain any of my caches, feel free to message me. Looks like I was one of the people targeted.

Lots of water on the ground and GZ has clearly been underwater. Unfortunately, everything inside is soaked. The t might need a more watertight container. Thanks for the cache

found under twigs and leaves

Maybe flood waters hid the cache

A moat around this cache today.
Found a dryish way in and returned as found
Thank you for hiding this geocache CommunistOnions

Out walking with Madison17273 and found this cache

Out for a pedal on the geocycle. A round trip of just over 50km this morning. Mostly finds, a couple of DNFs and DNLs too.

My first stop for the morning. Nice and quiet at GZ. Lots of muggles zooming by though. A very short hunt for this one.

Good

Nice. Cool camo

Out with lisylou and mnance101 today tftc

Out caching with the Tough Mothers (Bennyboppers and Lisylou). TFTC!

Quick find with bennyboppers and mnance101 today. Tftc

Hi - unable to message the CO privately but can you please either place my TB in another cache or put it back in one of yours.
TB in question is: https://coord.info/TB9KBWH 20 Years Of Geocaching Trackable.

Thanks

Someone moved the cache a few metres. If you can, please move it back to ground zero.

Can the next finder please put some camouflage on the cache? Thanks.

Found in the open uncovered

All good and ready to be found.

A quick find was made here today while walking the geo pup. Tftc

This one’s quality is fantastic. Cool idea to use Bunnings’ paint samples as camouflage! Has some great currency inside as well. Good job on your caches CommunistOnions!

Thanks RandomExplorers for keeping this cache alive. Your actions are appreciated.

Re-logging with CO's permission. Note this was before owner reinstated cache contents may be different

No coins but we have left a small one for the next cacher. TFTC

Done

All good.

No coins but we have left a small one for the next cacher. TFTC

Improving cache container. Please do not retract this cache.

Easy find. TFTC. Happy New Year.

Archiving in 2 days.

Sadly might have to archive. Looks like the caches’ goals cannot be fulfilled. Maybe currency caches like this cannot survive.

There still has not been any coin swaps in this geocache. Can someone if not a kind cacher please do the first swap? Seems like nobody has enthusiasm in any of these caches. Looks like the cache cannot follow its goals.

Found

Another blue face turned yellow this rainy afternoon.

Looked for this one about two weeks ago. In the area and see it’s been replaced. Made my way over from another find in the series to make another find.

TFTC!

Coordinates changed from:
S 27° 35.474 E 153° 3.942

Coordinates changed to:

Distance from original: 55.5 feet or 16.9 meters.

Replaced cache. New foreign currency inside. Can confirm that the original cache container was missing.

I came looking for this one a week ago but ended up empty handed, I searched high and low, round and round and I think I left nothing to be looked at again, defeated so I thought it wait until someone else found it but today I was attending a work Christmas Party at the Pub around the corner and when I checked I see it was missing and had just been replaced. After a scrumptious feast was enjoyed i headed of to find this cache easily enough today. Signed the replacement log and replaced all as found. TFTC

No cache for me here today

I had a good look around over about 10 metre radius and found lots of leaf litter but no cache. TFTC anyway.

No luck. Searched for 30 minutes and nothing. Looks like someone before me has had a thorough look to.

Cool idea for a cache but no luck here today. Poked around for about 15 minutes but my stick mustn’t have found the right pile of leaves. Will return.

TFTH!

Found it

Rummaged around but no sign of cache.

Hey found it but it was just a piece of paper on the ground

Found it

Btw, left Russian coins on behalf of jjjorsc

I know I said that I won’t post any notes unless necessary but I just had to post this one. Checked on the cache today and it is still ready to be found. The foreign and old coins are still there. Just poke around and you will find the geocache. Also, this cache is going to have some friends! The series will be created soon.

Best Of Regards
-CommunistOnions

Please ignore the previous find logs as it is not that hard to find that it takes 15 minutes and not even close to hard that you have to call previous finders. I am not going to post any more notes unless necessary.

-Kind Regards
CommunistOnions

Been disabled for too long. Time to reintroduce this geocache! I will try not to change the details of the geocache! Happy hunting and trading!

-Best Of Regards
CommunistOnions

Was shopping in the area when I came across this cache. Very great location. I do not have any foreign coins but great concept. I am sorry for you that this cache was disabled. I hope this lasts for a long time.

TFTC CommunistOnions

Geocache changed due to Ministro’s instructions. I have done action on this geocache by changing the description and name to follow the guidelines. I had changed the details of this geocache multiple times before your email due to basic cache inactivity and also inspiration. This has been posted publicly to also explain to the geocachers who have found this geocache.

With Kind Regards

Found it

Hello VC since you did not log anything (just a note) your log might me removed.

With Kind Regards
Communist Onions

Having a few hours to kill, before picking our youngest grand-daughter up after school, we decided the best way to fill those hours was with a spot of caching.
#2 of 21 found today.

We initially left a Write Note stating "All good here! Log to follow" which, for reasons unknown to us, received the response "Hello VC since you did not log anything (just a note) your log might me (be) removed. With Kind Regards Communist Onions".
Not sure what this is all about as Write Notes are a perfectly acceptable form of communicating/logging, especially if you are out & about.

However I digress.
We weren't sure what was happening with this cache as, in the app, the cache name kept changing from Best Cache Ever to Coin Exchange (or similar, I don't recall exactly) so we were totally confused but decided to visit GZ in the hopes of a little clarity.
It was quite boggy at roadside but we managed to find a spot that was firm & didn't suffer from us parking there.
Mrs VC headed off to find GZ &, hopefully, the cache and spent a few minutes searching while I caught up on some field notes to assist with later logging.
Once finished with my notes I headed over to join in the search & followed the compass to a point which it was determined was GZ.
Mrs VC spotted me & was quickly by my side when she spied something in the undergrowth, bent down & retrieved the cache.
Made our mark and replaced exactly as found.
Not sure if the cache is in the right spot or not, perhaps the CO could visit to confirm? [?]

TFTC CommunistOnions

Will check since cache might be moved to to flooding.

I was driving past the area today and decided to stop and check it out.

I dodged the large "lakes" in the park from the recent rain and arrived at the search location and then spent 15 minutes searching before I made a PAF call and then I still had to search a couple eof spots before I put my hand on the cache.

I had no coins to put in it so I just signed the log.

TFTC CommunistOnions

Another find for our caching morning in the area.
This was found after a bit of searching.
Log signed and cache replaced as found.

Love the concept of the cache btw!

#FTF# On our way home from church when this popped up not far away so headed over and we’re excited to find a clean log. Great co-ords. Nice find. Thanks CommunistOnions for the cache.

Congratulations to GreyParrot for the FTF

Despite the hail we were able to secure a find. Great cache keep it up!
