Here’s a fresh gift idea that inspires and pays tribute to a piece of history—give the Girls Scouts of the USA Centennial Silver Dollar. For the first time ever, the Girl Scouts has a commemorative coin, one of only two commemorative coin programs that will be issued by the United States Mint this year, and the first dedicated to a girls’ organization. The commemorative coin is a great gift idea for Mother’s Day! It’s also a winning choice for girls, Girl Scout alumnae, coin collectors, and lovers of unique historical collectibles. President Obama signed the legislation authorizing minting of the coin after passage in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
This beautiful coin features three girls of different ages and
backgrounds on the heads side, and on the reverse side it
shows the Girl Scouts’ 100th Anniversary logo, along with the inscription COURAGE, CONFIDENCE, CHARACTER (from
the Girl Scouts mission to “build girls of courage, confidence, and character,
who make the world a better place”). See more about the coin at www.girlscouts.org/coin.
The Girls Scouts of the USA Centennial Silver Dollar
will be available in uncirculated and
proof qualities starting on February 28 while supplies last, at a cost of $X
plus $4.95 shipping and handling. Place your order by calling 1-800-USA-MINT
(872-6468) or order online at www.usmint.gov.
Support the future of Girl Scouts while also giving a piece of
history. The Girl Scouts of the USA will receive a $10 surcharge (already
included) from your purchase for national program
development and delivery.
