Congressional Gold Medals, and national and other medals produced by 
the United States Mint.
     Advise the Secretary of the Treasury with regard to the

by the issuance of commemorative coins in each of the five calendar 
years succeeding the year in which a commemorative coin designation is 
made.
     Make recommendations with respect to the mintage level for 
any commemorative coin recommended.
    Total membership consists of eleven voting members appointed by the

its recommendations to the Secretary of the Treasury for appointment 
consideration. Candidates should include specific skills, abilities, 
talents, and credentials to support their applications. The United 
States Mint is also interested in candidates who have demonstrated 
leadership skills, who have received recognition by their peers in 
their field of interest, who have a record of participation in public
