Nightwing Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Nows your chance to make a difference people! WASHINGTON - The United States Mint is seeking applicants for appointment to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC). The terms of two CCAC members will expire in February 2008 -- one for a member representing the interests of the general public, and one for a qualified numismatic specialist. The application deadline is January 31, 2008. The United States Mint will review all applications and will forward recommendations to the Secretary of the Treasury for appointment consideration. The CCAC was created to advise the Secretary of the Treasury on the selection of themes and design proposals for circulating coinage, commemorative coins, bullion coinage, Congressional Gold Medals and other medals. The CCAC also advises the Secretary with regard to the events, persons, or places to be commemorated by the issuance of commemorative coins, as well as the mintage levels and proposed designs of commemorative coins. The CCAC is composed of 11 members: one specially qualified in numismatic collection curation; one specially qualified in the medallic arts or sculpture; one specially qualified in American history; one specially qualified in numismatics; three individuals representing the interests of the general public; and four individuals recommended by the Leadership of both the House of Representatives and Senate. CCAC members serve terms of four years and are Special Government Employees; therefore, they are subject to various applicable conflict of interest laws and ethics regulations. Individuals wishing to be considered for appointment as a CCAC member representing the interests of the general public or as a numismatic specialist should submit a letter, along with a resumé or curriculum vitae, detailing specific educational credentials, skills, talents and experience. Applicants must specify which position for which they wish to be considered. Applications should be submitted by fax to 202-756-6525, or by mail to the United States Mint, 801 9th St., N.W., Washington, DC 20220, Attn: Greg Weinman.

Nightwing Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Has anyone ever go to one of these, did they ever have a public hearing before? It seems like it could be both interesting and a drag. Hopefully, the former of the two since they would be purposing actual coin designs. Official announcement taken from: http://usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?acti...ease&ID=854 The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) will hold a public meeting at 9 a.m. (ET) on January 15, 2008, at United States Mint headquarters at 801 9th Street NW, Washington D.C. 20220. The purpose of the meeting is to conduct business related to the CCAC's responsibility to advise the Secretary of the Treasury on themes and designs pertaining to United States coinage. Agenda (subject to change): * Review design candidates for the reverse of the fourth one-cent circulating coin in the 2009 Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial One-Cent Coin series. The CCAC in its meeting on September 25, 2007, asked the United States Mint to propose additional design candidates for the fourth aspect of the coin series, the Lincoln Presidency. * Review design candidates for the Michael DeBakey, M.D. Congressional Gold Medal. Public Law No: 110-95, signed into law on October 15, 2007, requires the United States Mint to strike a medal in recognition of Dr. DeBakey's outstanding contributions to the Nation. * Review design candidates for the obverse of the 2009 Presidential $1 Coins. * Other general business Who: Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 5135, the CCAC was established to: * Advise the Secretary of the Treasury on any theme or design proposals relating to circulating coinage, bullion coinage, commemorative coins, Congressional gold medals, and national and other medals produced by the Secretary; * Advise the Secretary of the Treasury with regard to the events, persons, or places that the Committee recommends to be commemorated; and * Advise the Secretary of the Treasury with respect to the mintage level for any commemorative coin recommended.

henare Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Do they fly you in for meetings? i'm not sure ... i don't think so, which is just fine by me (washington dc is a big schlep from san francisco). it looks like a few meetings are face-to-face meetings and the others are teleconferences.

tabbs Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Just checked the CCAC website, and apparently they had six public meetings last year, and a few more the year before that. http://www.ccac.gov/calendar/notices.cfm Mostly in Washington DC but also in Philadelphia ... maybe they also have public meetings at the SF mint once in a while?
