Mint Director Nomination
I saw today where Barack Obama intends to nominate Bibiana Boerio as the new US Mint Director.
Disappointing to say the least as the woman has zero knowledge of coin and medals manufacturing.
UGH.

I have to admit that I was very disapointed when I read the article on Numismaster. She just seems like a left field, political choice.

Who was the last Mint Director that had any knowledge of coin and medals manufacturing?
It's largely an administrative position.

After they finish their term as director, they are qualified enough to peddle gold coins.

<< <i>Seems like a lot of women in recent decades. Does anyone know who/when the first woman director was? (I know I could google it, Lee.)
Nellie Tayloe Ross, 1933-1953, ya lazy slug!!!!!

My point exactly.
<< <i>The U.S. Mint Director position isn't considered an important cabinet position nor one that requires technical expertise. No director in memory has any prior knowledge of numismatics or numismatic design. >>
Regardless of her "technical expertise" as US Mint Director, which BTW isn't a Cabinet Position, she'll have the power to really goof up the research area of numismatics by destroying records which could prove invaluable for some future numismatic research project.
