<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 8160397, member: 66&quot;]Case in point being the Girl Scout Silver dollar.&nbsp; Sales were low enough that the Mint didn&#039;t cover their expenses, so the surcharges raised for the Girl Scouts were confiscated and turned over to the Mint instead.&nbsp; So far it&#039;s the only program&nbsp; where the surcharges have not gone to the or a recipient. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I think it may happen again with last years Law Enforcement program.&nbsp; For the entire program, three coins in proof and Unc they only sold 88,297 coins total out of 1.2 million coins authorized.&nbsp; Surcharges raised amounted to only about $980K.&nbsp; The McAuliffe dollar did better one coin in proof and unc with a total mintage of just under 70K.&nbsp; And the Womens Suffrage 1 coin in proof and unc with a mintage of just under 56K.&nbsp; The Girl Scouts&nbsp; sold a total of 124K.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
