US Mint reveals design for Scouting coin

[NJCubScouter 1389]

So HICO, are you saying you think the design is politically motivated? Couldn't it just be that the artist decided to compose it that way?

[Pint 23]

looks like a nice coin design, although it seems a pity the US ones are not going to go into mainstream circulation.

In the UK in 2007, to mark 100 years since the 1907 Brownsea island camp, a special 50p ( 0.50) coin was minted, as per usual some were just for collectors in various packs, although some were minted for general circulation, and its only recently that ive statrted seeing them in general circulation.

coin has on its back, the Scout arrowhead over the world ( globe) with "fifty pence" at the top, "Be prepared" at the base and the years 1907 and 2007 at the side.

If your in the UK keep a look out for them in your change.
