September 2, 2015 The Honorable Jack Lew Secretary of the Treasury Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Lew: A public meeting of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) was held on Wednesday, June 17, 2015 to review proposed obverse and reverse designs for the Nancy Reagan First Spouse Gold Coin and Medal. Mrs. Reagan preferred FS-NR-0-01 as the obverse. By a motion of the Committee this design was selected. No reverse was chosen at this meeting in order to enable further design work after input by Mrs. Reagan and her representatives at The Reagan Foundation. A telephonic meeting of the CCAC was then held on Monday, August 10, 2015, from the United States Mint Headquarters in Washington, D.C. The CCAC reviewed the new reverse designs for the Nancy Reagan First Spouse Gold Coin and Medal Program. After a review of the designs, the CCAC voted with Mrs. Reagan’s wishes and chose FS-NR-R-01 for the reverse. This design features Mrs. Reagan with two children wearing shirts with the motto “Just Say No” from her campaign against drug use. The CCAC recommends the artist modify the design to make Mrs. Reagan’s hand positioning more realistic. It has been a distinct honor for the CCAC and the United States Mint to have the opportunity to interact with a living First Lady, and we believe that all Mrs. Reagan’s preferences are addressed. With kind regards, I am Mary N. Lannin Chair Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee Established by Act of Congress, Public Law 108-15
