A Geocoin is a token used in geocaching. They can be used for one of several purposes.

They can be a signature item used by geocachers, left in geocaches to be found by others and kept as trophies or traded. Geocoins are often minted with the name of their state or country of origin, or with a given geocacher's name or handle. They can also be used in a similar way as Travel Bug, where they can be left in geocaches to be moved to other geocaches. Some geocoins may stay with their owners, and travel with them from cache to cache. Due to the fact that many geocoins have unique icons, may people will bring such geocoins to geocache events so that others may see the coins, and then collect the icons as part of their stats.

Most geocoins are imprinted with a code that can be entered into a website so that the geocoin can be tracked as it travels from cache to cache.

A Travel Bug is a tag that can be attached to an item, then moved between geocaches and tracked in a similar manner.
