<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 135001, member: 112&quot;]To an extent I readily agree with that. But when it comes to design - then the mint has a say. The mint determines what the design will look like, what the relief will be, how and where the legends will be placed. There is a lot that is open to interpretation for the mint and its employees. </p><p><br /></p><p>The CCAC - Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, and the FAC -&nbsp; Fine Arts Commission both review designs submitted to them by the US Mint and offer their opinions on the submitted designs, but the two committees rarely agree on design selection. Neither do they have authority to obligate the mint to follow their suggestions.</p><p><br /></p><p>So - in the end, it is the US Mint that determines the design of US coinage as long as they follow the written description as prescribed by law. And yes it is the SecTreas who has the final say, but I do not know of even a single example where he has overuled the mint&#039;s submittal for final approval.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
