Paul Hollis Nominated as Director of the United States Mint

Paul Hollis, a Louisiana state representative and long-time coin enthusiast, was nominated by President Trump to be the next Director of the United States Mint this week. A respected coin dealer and lifelong advocate for the hobby, Hollis makes a rare bridge between grassroots numismatics and federal coinage policy.

The nomination comes at a pivotal time for the U.S. Mint, which continues to balance production demands with collector innovation amid increased public interest in coin programs. Hollis’s appointment signals a potentially more collector-conscious approach to upcoming designs, commemoratives, and marketing initiatives.

Hollis’s nomination requires Senate confirmation, with a hearing before the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee to take place in the coming months.
