The
sales of the 2013 Girl Scouts of the USA Centennial Silver Dollars has been
growing steadily for the past few weeks, and coincides with the rising sales of
the U.S. Silver Dollar as a whole, as reported by Silver Coins Today. We hope that all active members and alumnae
will help GSUSA by purchasing this token of tradition, as a promise to continue
the important mission of Girl Scouts. The coin represents the past 100 years,
and is a symbol of our continuing commitment to equality and the advancement of
young girls across America and the world. Please help us, as we move into
another chapter of our already exceptional history.
