Because the holiday season is rapidly approaching, I’ll finally break precedent and do something I've never done before write a holiday-themed column. It’s not that I dislike Christmas or any other holiday, but I’ve long resisted the temptation to write anything too obvious or predictable. I usually prefer to write on technical matters regarding coins, but I also don’t want to be branded a curmudgeon. So, in the seasonal spirit of being obvious and predictable, here are my Christmas coin reminiscences.
WASHINGTON – The United States Mint announced today that 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.
