<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 2679314, member: 59677&quot;]It will be interesting to see if there is enough demand to make any money for the charity. The enabling legislation requires that the mint cover it&#039;s costs first.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/301" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/301" rel="nofollow">https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/301</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not clear what the break-even point is, but it&#039;s something over 35%, given that in the case of the girl scouts in 2014, admittedly the only case where they failed to cover the costs and received nothing, they sold only about 35% of the single authorized coin. (See <a href="http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/2014/01/girl-scouts-will-get-no-commem-surcharges.all.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/2014/01/girl-scouts-will-get-no-commem-surcharges.all.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/2014/01/girl-scouts-will-get-no-commem-surcharges.all.html</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p>But if that # is at all representative, then Boy&#039;s Town will need to sell something over 40,000 coins. First days sales were 33,636, so they are well on the way between now and 12/31/2017.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
