Retrieving activatiion code

[shayes]

I purchased the "Black Widow" geocoin from Geocaching.com. It is a beautiful coin. I would like to get the activation code for it but when I went to the website Geocoinshop.de, which is in German, I think, I could not figure out how I was to receive the code. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

4.1. Activating a Trackable

 

Activating a Groundspeak Travel Bug or Geocoin is easy.

 

Start by having the activation code. The activation code will come with any Travel Bug tag. It may be included with a geocoin, or you may have to visit the manufacturer's website for it. Usually there will be a printed label with activation code information included with a geocoin. Also see the article linked below for finding geocoin activation codes.

 

visit the Trackables page:

 

http://www.geocaching.com/track/

 

In the box "Activate Trackable Item," enter the Travel Bug or Geocoin number that is imprinted on the item you wish to activate. Click on the "Activate" button.

 

Enter the activation code into the boxes provided. Click to assign the item to you.

 

At this point the Trackable is activated and is yours. You can edit the name, country of activation, mission, upload pictures and description.

It looks like you have a good answer to your question. But since this is about geocoins, I'm going to move your thread to the Geocoin forum.
