Got to love proof silver and girl scout diversity.....pass.
The reverse leaves me scratching my head.
Join the Girl Scouts in celebrating their first hundred years! This proof 2013 Girl Scouts of the USA Centennial Silver Dollar is extraordinarily brilliant and features sharp relief and a mirror-like background to highlight the images on both sides of the coin.
The obverse (heads side) design was inspired by both the historical and contemporary aspects of Girl Scouting and by its mission statement: "Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place." It depicts three girls who represent the different ages and diversity of Girl Scouts of the USA. Inscriptions include COURAGE, CONFIDENCE and CHARACTER, key elements of the Girl Scouts mission statement. The 100th anniversary Trefoil symbol signifies the centennial anniversary. Additional inscriptions are 2013, LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST.
The reverse (tails) design depicts the iconic Profiles of Girl Scouts of the USA with the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, $1 and GIRL SCOUTS.
The introductory price of $54.95 will be in effect from 12 noon (ET), on February 28, 2013, through 5 p.m. (ET) on March 29, 2013, after which the regular price of $59.95 will be in effect.
Mintage Limit: 350,000
Household Limit: None

More seriously, I eventually will buy 2, one for me and one for my daughter.

sexists!
Ummmmmmm. Thin mints............
FYI, they're even better if you eat them frozen!
However, I actually like the reverse design, given that it's a girl scout coin so it was going to be something themed that way.

My daughter is a girl scout as well...I bought the cookies but I just can bring myself to buy this coin...I don't like the design
I will however, keep buying the cookies from ambitious GALS that have a purpose for the sales.
<< <i>No coin (or any other mint offerings), but I did place an order for 6 boxes of thin mints this week.

One of the most important recommendations ever posted on this forum.

Agreed....and to think this coming from a Dad that said: "My daughter is a Girl Scout. I think I will buy one for her."
So sweet!!!

The girl represented Venture Scouts, the fastest growing segment of scounting in the U.S.
Diversity can take a flying leap. I want designs and cool coins.
Now, maybe if they gave out a box of thin mints with each coin, then maybe
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Hoard the keys.
I'm in for one of each as I want the set to stay current.
I'm also in for a half dozen Thin Mints, too...

I have 60 boxes in the shop I purchased from family. If anyone buys a coin off my website, I will send you a free box of cookies.
will purchase girl scout coins because I love girls and my country, and must continue on this endeavor as much as some things suck.
<< <i>The joke around our house is that Thin Mints have only two servings, one sleeve per person. >>
I've been saying the same for years.
Not going to touch the coin, though. Good to see that a committee of 4 can come up with a design every bit as vapid and sterile as the Boy Scout commem.

Will continue to buy the cookies.

Thin mints contain palm oil, which is grown from deforested trees in Indonesia. Think of the orangutans!
<< <i>Mint mints? I think they may have missed marketing gold. >>
The USM with all of it's diversity designs is starting to get OLD. Stop shoving it down our throats on every design they produce...............
Just pick one girl for the design and go with it. I don't care which race, ethnic background, disability, sexual orientation, etc. is shown. Rotate it from year to year or coin to coin featuring a unknown woman or man.
It doesn't matter to me. It probably doesn't matter to many collectors.
This would allow for more design space for much more important things like the "cookie table" that is always outside you local department store or mall - or the "Thin Mints" cookie box!
