Girl Scout Coin Bill Signed, Approving 350,000 Silver Dollars in 2013
It's now official: the Girl Scout commemorative coin bill that Congress approved recently has now been signed by President Obama.
As a result, 350,000 Girl Scout silver dollars will be struck in 2013. Furthermore, $10 from each sale will benefit the Girl Scouts of USA. That money will go toward renovations for the Julliette Gordon Low Birthplace in Savannah, Georgia.
Don't forget, commemorative coins from earlier years honoring other people, places, and events can be purchased from most any coin dealer.
Some other modern commemorative coins include:
- 1982 George Washington half dollar
- 1986 Statue of Liberty half dollar, silver dollar, and $5 gold coin
- 1995-96 Olympic coins
