He will serve a five-year term.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump nominated Hollis in July. He appeared before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs on Oct. 30, outlining his qualifications and vision for the Mint.<\/p>\n<p>Hollis was confirmed by a recorded Senate vote that largely followed party lines, after the chamber approved a procedural resolution to expedite consideration of multiple executive branch nominations. The vote followed several months without a permanent Mint director.<\/p>\n<p>A longtime numismatist and rare-coin dealer, Hollis brings decades of industry experience to the role, along with public-sector service as a former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives. His appointment places a collector in charge of the nation\u2019s coin-producing bureau.<\/p>\n<p>Hollis succeeds Ventris C. Gibson, who resigned earlier this year, and will oversee the Mint\u2019s circulating coinage, bullion programs, and collector offerings as it prepares for major initiatives tied to America\u2019s upcoming 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<footer>&#13;<br \/>\n                        &#13;<br \/>\n            &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n                                                <span class=\"td-page-meta\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Mike Unser\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.coinnews.net\/author\/mike-unser\/\"\/><\/span><meta itemprop=\"datePublished\" content=\"2025-12-19T09:51:59-06:00\"\/><meta itemprop=\"dateModified\" content=\"2025-12-19T09:51:59-06:00\"\/><meta itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WebPage\" itemid=\"https:\/\/www.coinnews.net\/2025\/12\/19\/senate-confirms-paul-hollis-as-41st-u-s-mint-director\/\"\/><span class=\"td-page-meta\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\"><span class=\"td-page-meta\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.coinnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CoinNews.net-Logo-44096.jpg\"\/><\/span><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"CoinNews\"\/><\/span><meta itemprop=\"headline \" content=\"Senate Confirms Paul Hollis as 41st U.S. Mint Director\"\/><span class=\"td-page-meta\" itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.coinnews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Paul-Hollis-Senate-Confirmation-Hearing.jpg\"\/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"1600\"\/><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"1200\"\/><\/span>        <\/footer>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n    <\/p><\/div>\n<p>Coin &amp; Numismatic News,US Mint News &amp; Informationcoin &amp; numismatic news,us mint news &amp; information#Senate #Confirms #Paul #Hollis #41st #U.S #Mint #Director1766511280<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Paul Hollis, pictured during his October Senate committee hearing, was confirmed by the full Senate to lead the United States Mint The U.S. Senate has confirmed Paul Hollis as the 41st Director of the United States Mint, approving his nomination Thursday, Dec. 18.
