The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) will hold a teleconference meeting today, Oct 25, to review candidate designs for the Bob Dole Congressional Gold Medal and consider themes for the 2019 American Legion 100th Anniversary Commemorative Coins.
The CCAC is tasked with advising the Secretary of the Treasury on themes and designs pertaining to all United States coins and medals.
Congress voted this year to award World War II veteran and former U.S. Senate majority leader Bob Dole with a Congressional Gold Medal in recognition of his service to the nation as a soldier, legislator, and statesman. The United States Mint will strike the medal along with bronze duplicates for the public. The CCAC will review proposed designs for the medal.
On Oct. 6, 2017, President Trump signed into law the American Legion 100th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act. The Act directs the United States Mint in 2019 to produce and sell $5 gold coins, silver dollars, and clad half dollars to recognize the 100th anniversary of the American Legion. The CCAC will discuss possible themes for the commemorative coins.

The teleconference meeting begins at 3:00 p.m. and is scheduled to last until 4:00 p.m. (ET).
