"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

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
