General Coin Information
The United States Mint released the 2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Commemorative Proof Coin on March 23, 2010 to celebrate 100 years of the Scouting organization.
Each coin was struck from a 90% silver 10% copper alloy to a width of 1.5 inches and will bear the face value of one dollar. Only 350,000 of the coins could be struck across all product options.
A surcharge was to be added to the sale of each coin with the money raised being forwarded to the National Boy Scouts of America Foundation. The Foundation, in turn, will grant the money to local councils to improve the organization's presence in hard-to-reach areas.
An uncirculated version of this coin is also being released on the same day.
