Girl Scouts Commemorative Silver Dollar Coin Proposed
U.S. Representative Jack Kingston introduced coin legislation Thursday, June 26, seeking a silver dollar coin commemorating "the centennial of the establishment of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America."
The coin bill is officially named H.R. 6404. It's so freshly new that the Government Printing Office (GPO) has not yet had the chance to enter the text of the legislation into their system.
It does, however, have an impressive cosponsor list of 41 other members in the House. That's strong showing for the initial stage of this bill.

World’s Largest Silver Coin from Austria, the Europe Taler 2008
Weighing in at an arm-wrenching 44.2 pounds (20.08 kg) and a gigantic arm-circling 44.6 inches (116.3 cm), the word's largest silver coin, named the Europe Taler 2008, was unveiled at this year's European Championship of Football in Austria and Switzerland.
Using the current silver spot price of $16.62 per troy ounce, that makes the coin worth about $23,600 in bullion value alone.
If that's still a little hefty in price... and in weight for you, smaller coins with nearly 4 ounces (120 grams) of fine silver and a diameter of 2.4 inches (6 cm) will be available soon for the price of € 108 (~$168) plus VAT.
The coins will have a limited mintage set to 2,008. As a bonus, packaging of the coin includes "unique pieces from 500-year old wood."
