Paul Hollis, pictured during his October Senate committee hearing, was confirmed by the full Senate to lead the United States Mint<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Paul Hollis formally assumed his role as Director of the United States Mint on Monday, Jan. 5, taking the oath of office and becoming the 41st leader of the bureau.<\/p>\n

Hollis was nominated by President Trump on July 16 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate on Dec. 18, clearing the way for him to begin his five-year term at the Mint.<\/p>\n

\n

“I am honored and humbled to be confirmed as the 41st Director of the United States Mint,” Hollis said in a statement. “As a lifelong collector, I am privileged to serve as the leader of the world\u2019s largest mint and am eager to meet the incredible team behind the design, production and sales of circulating, numismatic and bullion coins and medals.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hollis brings decades of numismatic and public-service experience to the role. A professional numismatist for more than 30 years, he is a 25-year Life Member of the congressionally chartered American Numismatic Association and has served on several industry boards, including the Industry Council for Tangible Assets and the Numismatic Literary Guild.<\/p>\n

His appointment follows a lengthy period without a permanent Mint director. As reported previously by CoinNews<\/em>, Hollis appeared before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on Oct. 30, outlining his qualifications and experience during his confirmation hearing.<\/p>\n

Beyond numismatics, Hollis has an extensive background in public service. He was elected to Louisiana\u2019s Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, where he supported a constituency of 500,000 people, and served in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 2012 to early 2024.<\/p>\n

A native of Louisiana, Hollis earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Louisiana State University in 1994. He and his wife, Ashley, have been married for 23 years and have two children.<\/p>\n

As director, Hollis will oversee all operations of the United States Mint, including the production of circulating coinage, numismatic products, bullion coins, and medals, at a time when the Mint faces heightened attention tied to the nation\u2019s upcoming semiquincentennial and evolving collector demand.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
