Centenary Of World Scout Commemorative Coin(S)

I'll try to get the British one from circulation. 6.45 Pounds is a lot of money to pay for a CuNi coin.
also the silver one is too expensive for me, its price is double the Turkish one.

RenaL: I couldn't figure out how to buy the Turkish one. How would you do it? Thanks.

Well, Turkish mint does accept bank transfer and credit card payements.
However, credit card option seems extremely unprofessional to me, because they ask the customer to send all their credit card data, so you simply hand over your card.

They do pretty nice job if you have a bank transfer, you can find the bak account info at the bottom of the page http://www.darphane.gov.tr/english/esatisl.htm

Here you have a small problem also; they haven't listed the coin to the English section yet. The price for foreigners is a bit more compared to us (eg. TROJA coin has a face value of 30 YTL = 16.75 EUR, but listed as 25 EUR - including postage).
New coins are available for us at face value.

If you're not in a great hurry, I guess we can arrange some kind of a trade.

Hey Rena: I ordered this the night you posted, and it came today. Pretty fast. It's a smaller coin than I thought, probably 20g or so, but nice nevertheless.

i had no idea the Scouts were World wide.

Jim, last I read in Scouting Magazine, the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM - the international headquarters of Scouting in Geneva, Switzerland http://www.scout.org/ ) has 155 member nations with some 28 million youth worldwide.

I have sent a link to this topic, to a friend of mine. He is high up the Scout movement in Western Australia. This might make him drool.

His name is James, so we could just about call him ScoutJim as well.

Don't know of any others - oh, and obviously the Portuguese coin above is not about scouting. Seems that the link now refers to a different piece. But you have the right one on your web site.

By the way, the scouting jubilee is also the theme for this year's EUROPA stamps. Don't collect stamps myself, but for those who are interested in scouting related collectibles ...

Every year the (40 or so) postal services that are members of PostEurop issue stamps with a common theme. Here is more about the program http://www.posteurop.org/index.jsp?isoCode=en and here is a list of this year's issues: http://europa-stamps.blogspot.com/2...ears_22.html
