Girl Scouts Centennial Silver Coin Legislation Summarized
Should a newly introduced House bill become law, 350,000 silver $1 coins will be issued in 2011 commemorating the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Girl Scouts of the USA.
Rep. Jack Kingston introduced the Girl Scouts commemorative coin legislation last week, but it’s taken a full seven days for details to emerge. Uncharacteristically, the Government Printing Office (GPO) was extremely slow in providing the official legislation text of H.R. 6404.
Coin release date and design specifications
H.R. 6404 is entitled the "Girl Scouts USA Centennial Commemorative Coin Act." With the Girl Scouts 100th anniversary on March 12, 2012, initial expectations were for the coin’s issuance in 2012. Those expectations were incorrect.
