Dear Secretary Geithner:
A public meeting of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (Committee) was held on

Committee reviewed proposed designs for the 2013 Presidential $1 Coins honoring Presidents
William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson.
For the $1 coin honoring President William McKinley, the Committee strongly recommended
design WMc-10. The design garnered 24 of 27 possible points through the Committee’s
scoring process. Of the nine (9) members participating in the evaluation, eight (8) assigned the
highest possible score of three (3) to this design. Committee members commented that the
design provided a well executed image of President McKinley.
Design TR-01 was strongly recommended by the Committee for the $1 coin honoring
President Theodore Roosevelt. The design received 25 of 27 possible points through the
Committee’s scoring process with all members indicating support for the design through points
assigned. Committee members commented that the design captured the flamboyant and
energetic character of President Roosevelt.
For the $1 coin honoring President William Howard Taft, the Committee recommended design
WHT-1. The design received 22 of 27 possible points through the Committee’s evaluation
process with eight (8) of nine (9) members supporting the design through points assigned. The
Committee felt design WHT-1 provided an accurate portrayal of the 27th President.
Finally, design WW-2 was recommended by the Committee for the $1 coin honoring President
Woodrow Wilson. The design garnered 17 of 27 possible points through the Committee’s
evaluation process. All nine members participating in the evaluation assigned points to this
