My take is that you don't *put* the coins in the caches. You put the cache
ID and the direction point S,N E W ect in the cache on a sticker or a piece
of paper, this info is recorded on a coin that you take out of you pocket
and send back to the site as a verification that you actually been to the
site. (the special code words)

Still, ya cant put the code words on a virtual cache to record for the log.
Ya cant even log the cache without knowing the # and direction point.

One hole in the concept is that they won't be
able to place their coins at virtual
and locationless and benchmark caches.
That's a growing chunk of the cache population.
And putting their coins in a cache on the
top of Mt. Everest isn't going to generate
them much money. My fear is that the
marketing scheme to circulate their coins
is going to produce caches that are easy to
find and very close to each other.  The
romance of exploration and becoming one
with nature takes a backseat to free
enterprise.
