October 18, 2018 The Honorable Steven T. Mnuchin Secretary of the Treasury Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Mnuchin, A public meeting of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) was held on Tuesday, October 16, 2018, to review and discuss the Armed Forces Medals for the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Air Force. For the obverse of the Coast Guard medal, following significant deliberation, the Committee recommends design CG-0-04B. The design depicts a national security cutter at full throttle, speeding head-on towards the viewer, conveying the Coast Guard is "Always Ready." For the reverse, the Committee recommends design CG-R-09, a design featuring two iconic symbols of the Coast Guard - a life preserver ring and the distinctive Coast Guard Racing Stripe mark, which is found on almost all Coast Guard craft. For the obverse of the Air Force medal, the Committee recommends AF-0 -01, a design depicting a fighter jet pilot flying at high speed alongside F-22 fighter jets with a stylized landscape below. The Committee recommends removing the additional inscription "Critical to the past, essential to the future," and suggests a more gender-neutral pilot to honor both the men and women in the Air Force. For the reverse design, the Committee recommends AF-R-04, a design featuring members of the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard in ceremonial assembly at the Air Force Memorial. Sincerely, Mr. Donald Scarinci Acting Chairman, CCAC Established by Act of Congress, Public Law 108-15 October 18, 2018 The Honorable Steven T. Mnuchin Secretary of the Treasury Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Mnuchin, A public meeting of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) was held on Tuesday, October 16, 2018, to review and discuss the reverse designs for the 2021 and 2022 Native American $1 Coins. The theme for the 2021 $1 coin is American Indians in U.S. Military Service. Viewing and discussing a variety of interesting adaptions of this theme, the Committee recommended NA2021-04A, which features eagle feathers. Eagle feathers were traditionally earned in battle or by performing a brave deed. Stars representing five branches of the U.S. Military are in the foreground, while a circle provides an additional reference to Native Americans. The theme for the 2022 $1 coin is Ely S. Parker. Viewing and discussing a variety of interesting adaptions of this theme, the Committee recommended NA-2022-05, which depicts Parker with a quill pen and book, symbolic of his mastery of English and his graceful penmanship. The CCAC recommends utilizing Parker's signature to depict his name and to add the inscription "Tonawanda Seneca." Sincerely, Mr. Donald Scarinci Acting Chairman, CCAC Established bv Act of Congress, Public Law 108-15
