<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1708754, member: 26302&quot;]But the CCAC was supposed to be collectors.

They should never be allowed to suggest &quot;improvements&quot;, only vote on design A, B, or C. I am with you completely that committees will destroy art, but I do not think it a bad thing to let them veto BAD art, and we have had our share of that from the mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I always hoped for with the mint was they could create a lab of higher education for young artists in this country. Recruit young, talented artists, teach them the specifics of designing for coinage, and have them submit designs for 5-10 years. After that replace them with a new batch of new talent. One it could reinvigorate our coinage with fresh ideas, and two create a pool of talented artists to craft medals and similar items.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
