May 21, 2024 The Honorable Janet Yellen Secretary of the Treasury Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20220 Dear Madam Secretary: The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) held a public meeting on May 20, 2024, during which they reviewed the candidate designs for the Joseph R. Biden Jr. Presidential Medal. As part of its medal portfolio, the United States Mint has historically produced Presidential medals to commemorate the Presidents and their term(s) in office. The Mint worked with a liaison at the White House in the development of these designs. Following a brief discussion, the CCAC unanimously approved a motion to recommend the preferred design candidates JRB-O-01 and JBR-R-14 for the obverse and reverse of the medal. The CCAC also recommends that the inscription on the reverse be modified to remove the periods and replace them with bullet points as delimiters, except for the period following “CHOOSE IT”, which should have no period or bullet point following as the inscription “46” would in this case serve as the delimiter. It is an honor to serve as the Chair of the CCAC and proud of the CCAC’s role in United States coins and medals. Sincerely, Peter van Alfen, PhD, CCAC Chair
