Mary Lannin Appointed to Chairperson of CCAC
Mary N. Lannin has once again been appointed as the Chairperson of the
Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) for a one-year term effective January 29, 2021. Ms. Lannin previously served as Chairperson from 2015 to 2018.
Ms. Lannin, of
New York City, was first appointed to the CCAC in 2014 based on the recommendation of the then-House Minority Leader,
Nancy Pelosi. She was reappointed to a second four-year term in 2018. Her interest in the CCAC comes from her childhood love of coin collecting, which was rekindled when she purchased a Roman
denarius once owned by
John Quincy Adams, a noted coin collector and the sixth President of the United States.
