New Director of the U.S. Mint

"President Obama has nominated Bibiana Boerio of Pennsylvania to become the new Director of the United States Mint for a five year term. This comes 21 months after the 38th Director of the Mint Edmund Moy announced his resignation on December 20, 2010. From the information available online, Boerio does not seem to have any particular connection or affinity to coins. She most recently served as Special Advisor to the President at Detroit Regional Chamber, after holding the position of Chief of Staff for Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak. Prior to this she spent 30 years in automotive and financial services businesses, with her positions including Managing Director of Jaguar Cars Ltd and Chief Financial Officer of Ford Motor Credit Company."

    The mint director is an administrative position.

    The director does not design coins so there won't be any changes to coins.

    We will probably see Bibiana at a presidential dollar striking ceremony.

    No doubt that this thread will become political.

    Possibly, just possibly, Ms. Boerio could use her background in finance to convince others that it is a waste of money to continue making the penny and nickel, when each coin costs nearly twice as much to make as it is worth!
