| | United States v. Washington Mint, LLC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | The United States Mint, an agency of the government, employs a number of artisans and engravers who ordinarily are responsible for designing the figures depicted on coins issued as legal tender. |
 | | The United States Mint formed a committee of persons to solicit input from United States Mint employees, members of Congress, coin collectors, artists and other members of the community, and to choose from the designs submitted based on the input received. |
 | | Documents published on the United States Mint's website in June 1998 state that the government has received complaints from coin collectors for many years about the "static" nature of the coin designs it has produced and the lack of public participation in the design process. |
