About this Coin:

We found it very easy to devote the spaghettimonster to a Coin, which represents its nudelige body shape ;-) On the back stands the abbreviation "WWAGD?" (What would a Geocacher do?), which is an adaptation of the original "WWAPD?" ("What Would a Pirate Do?"), an allusion to the Christian slogan W.W.J.D. ("What would Jesus do?").

About Spaghetti Monster
The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the deity of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Pastafarianism (a portmanteau of pasta and Rastafarian), a social movement that promotes a light-hearted view of religion and opposes the teaching of intelligent design and creationism in public schools. According to adherents, Pastafarianism is a "real, legitimate religion, as much as any other".[3] Pastafarianism is legally recognized as a religion in the Netherlands[4] and New Zealand – where Pastafarian representatives have been authorized to celebrate weddings and where the first legally recognized Pastafarian wedding was performed in April 2016.[5][6][7] In the United States the same month, a federal judge ruled that the "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" is not a real religion.[8]
...
Because of its popularity and exposure, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is often used as a contemporary version of Russell's teapot—an argument that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon those who make unfalsifiable claims, not on those who reject them. Pastafarianism has received praise from the scientific community and criticism from proponents of intelligent design. Pastafarians have engaged in disputes with creationists, including in Polk County, Florida, where they played a role in dissuading the local school board from adopting new rules on teaching evolution.

The top 8 of the geocachers were determined in a competition, which are as follows:

The eight "I'd rather be, you would ..."

... before just look into the listing!

... the top caches just lay in my proximity.

... let travelers travel and not bunk at home!

... log the T5 tree climbing cove using the climbing equipment instead of the chain saw!

... the petling does not hang in pee!

... take a torch with you to the night cache and not a whole floodlight system to illuminate the whole forest, so that scheduled planes try to land in the forest.

... hide the cache where you have it and do not play Besser.

... not the whole area with microdoses to dustbins and telephone cells.
