The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) is asking collectors to join them at a public forum titled: “Coins and Medals of the United States: Role of the CCAC, Congress, and the United States Mint."
Scheduled during the 2023 World’s Fair of Money, sponsored by the American Numismatic Association, the forum will take place at Room 336 of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Aug. 9 at 5 PM (ET).
The CCAC is responsible for advising the Secretary of the Treasury on matters related to U.S. coin and medal designs, with each of its eleven members serving a four-year term.
The CCAC’s statement announcing the forum said, in part:
"As avid members of the hobby like you, Committee members have strong opinions about the designs for circulating and commemorative coins and medals that truly capture the spirit of our Nation. We look forward to hearing your perspectives on the themes and designs to best celebrate America’s history, achievements, and diverse culture, and to honor important historic events and remarkable people."
Appointed by the Treasury Secretary, the CCAC is comprised of individuals specially qualified in numismatics, American history, sculpture, or metallic arts, including four members recommended by Congressional leaders, and three representing the general public.
