The purpose of the meeting is to conduct business related to the CCAC's responsibility to advise the Secretary of the Treasury on themes and designs pertaining to United States coinage.
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.
