Tired
of giving meaningless shiny baubles that just get tossed? 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, issued this year by the United States Mint, and the
first dedicated to a girls’ organization. The commemorative coin is a great
gift idea for the 2013 holiday season as it is 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.
The Girls Scouts of the USA Centennial
Silver Dollar is available now while supplies last.
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

surcharge (already included) from your purchase for national program
development and delivery.
