On behalf of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, I'd like to invite everyone to attend our public meeting and forum at this week's A.N.A. convention in Baltimore. We'll begin by considering designs for the 2009 American Eagle Platinum coins. After that, we'll open the floor for public comment about any issues related to American coin design.

We always look forward to interacting with the numismatic community at the A.N.A. convention, and we hope that anyone interested will attend our meeting and share their thoughts with us.

The meeting is scheduled for 9 AM on Friday August 1, in Room 316 of the Baltimore Convention Center. I hope to see you there!
