Mitchell Sanders has been reappointed to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee by the U.S. Mint, but he will no longer be chairman.
According to U.S. Mint spokesman Michael White, Sanders? reappointment to a new four-year term means his term as chair is over and he is back on the CCAC as a regular member.
