I guess you have no clue what a 100 year commemorative coin is supposed to mean (celebrating the actual 100 years of Scouting). The Venture/ girl program is and always will be tiny, and only started in the 1990s (over 80 years after Boy Scouts began). <br /><br />As a former Scout and parent of Scouts, I would have no problem with a den mother on the coin, but PaaLeeeze, How messed up are people that push PC issues over reality.<br /><br />Guess that's why the super low mintage PC platinum coins do not fetch nearly the premiums that you would think they would based on mintage and precious metal content.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-80517249277623546802011-03-10T07:07:36.795-08:002011-03-10T07:07:36.795-08:00Pre-modern commemoratives had so much more diverse...Pre-modern commemoratives had so much more diverse and interesting subjects!

It should have become the scouting commemorative coin if they insisted on having a girl on the coin and then never made a girl scout coin.

Enjoy this for now. Best advice - If you can't type anything friendly and conforming, don't type anything at all. New online laws are being forged on the front of copious complaints originating from a variety of entities and this could curtail the unregulated nature of the blogosphere in America.
