Hello everyone at MBGA. This is my first post and I am relatively new to caching. Just wondering if I can buy a travel bug directly from the MBGA but at someone’s house so I don't have to order online. Is this possible? Also does the MBGA have geocoins?

You can pick up a travel bug tag at most events, its best to prearrange so you can be sure there is one available and you might be able to arrange an alternate pick up as well. Use the MBGA Gear Contact to let them know you want a tag and where you can arrange pick up.

The MBGA minted a coin in 2005, seen above (thanks to grnbrg). Several people, myself included, still have some available for trading or purchase. There is also work talking place currently to get a coin out for 2010 to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the association. You can see the new coin progress here.

I sent them two emails already during the week and they have still not replied. Any reason why?

Hi! I'm the one who gets the emails. I've been on vacay for the last week and haven't had much time to read my emails. I'll get to it in the next day or so. Sorry about that.
