Dear Secretary Geithner:
A public meeting of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (Committee) was held on
Tuesday, February 28, 2012, at United States Mint Headquarters in Washington, DC. The
Committee reviewed quarter dollar reverse designs for the United States Mint America the
Beautiful Quarters Program to be issued in 2013, inclusive of coins honoring Perry’s Victory
and International Peace Memorial in Ohio and Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic
Shrine in Maryland.
For the reverse design of the quarter dollar honoring Perry’s Victory and International Peace
Memorial in Ohio, the Committee recommended design OH-02 showing the memorial’s
sculpture of Admiral Perry along with an image of the Perry’s Victory and International Peace
Memorial Monument. The design garnered 14 of a possible 24 points through the Committee’s
scoring process.
Design MD-03, honoring Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Maryland,
earned the Committee’s recommendation. The design, which provides a dramatic image of
bombs bursting in the sky over Fort McHenry, received 16 of a possible 24 points through the
Committee’s scoring process. .
Sincerely,

Gary B. Marks
Chair
