Girl Scouts Coin! :)

It's Cookie Delivery Season once again! Sadly, this will be my last year of cookie-selling as an Ambassador Girl Scout. I will, however, continue to purchase and enjoy the awesomeness of GSA cookies next year in college! (And FYI, contrary to popular belief, Thin Mints do not make you any thinner!)

I was just perusing the Girl Scouts of America Website (you should, too! There's a lot of interesting GS info on there!), when I came across something that I found particularly awesome!

According to girlscouts.org, the United States Mint will be creating up to 350,000 silver dollar coins to commemorate the 100th year anniversary of Girl Scouting!

On the heads side, the words "courage, confidence, and character" adorn the top of the coin, inspired by the GSA mission statement: "Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place." Beneath these words, three Girl Scouts of different ages are depicted smiling. The 100th anniversary Trefoil symbol underneath the girls signifies the centennial anniversary of our organization!! :D

Minted on the reverse side is "the iconic Profiles of Girl Scouts of the USA with the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, $1 and GIRL SCOUTS."

You can purchase the collectible coin either from the GSA Website or from the US Mint Website.
