Coin Hunter in association with Google Earth presents the first Coin Treasure Hunt.

About

The hunt is designed to be a challenge but not too difficult - most coins are easily visible.

The clues are presented as an envelope OR as just coins, such as a message spelt out in A to Z 10ps.

Use the clues to work out the next location and type into the Google Earth search box to travel there.
