Agenda (subject to change):

* Review design candidates for the reverse of the fourth one-cent circulating coin in the 2009 Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial One-Cent Coin series.  The CCAC in its meeting on September 25, 2007, asked the United States Mint to propose additional design candidates for the fourth aspect of the coin series, the Lincoln Presidency.
