<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3015058, member: 66"]This is for "Breast cancer awareness". I have to ask, is anyone NOT aware of breast cancer? And other than the words "Breast Cancer Awareness" on the coin just how do these coins increase our awareness? Especially considering that no more than a tiny fraction of the population will ever know about them? The ribbon? They have ribbons for everything these days. The butterfly? I really see no connection between butterflies and breast cancer, unless they get it too.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as Blissskr pointed out, if the coin doesn't sell well and the Mint doesn't make their expenses they will keep all the money that was supposed to go to breast cancer research. Wouldn't matter much though, anything this coin would raise would just be a drop in the bucket. Breast cancer research receives over $500 million a year now, and has every year for well over a decade and probably longer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
