interest according to the Coin
Modernization, Oversight, and
Continuity Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–
302).
DATES: Submit either electronic or
written comments on the collection of
information by 60 days after the notice

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice of
the proposed collection of information

before submitting the proposed
collection of information to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, we are publishing notice of
the proposed collection of information
described in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, the United
States Mint invites comments on—(1)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the United States Mint’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the United States
Mint’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
U.S. Coinage Practices Survey
The Coin Modernization, Oversight,
and Continuity Act of 2010, Public Law
111–302, section 2(b)(3), authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to consider
such factors he deems appropriate and
in the public interest when preparing a
report and recommendations to
Congress with respect to the nation’s
circulating coins.
Understanding the public’s use and
perception of United States circulating
coins and coin usage is necessary for the
United States Mint to carry out its
mission to mint and issue circulating
coins in amounts that the Secretary of

Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or

the Treasury determines are necessary
to meet the needs of the United States
and to prepare recommendations to
Congress as authorized by Public Law
111–302. The information collected will
cover the following topics, with special
emphasis on low denomination coins:
1. Use of coins as payment,
2. general payment preferences,
3. general awareness concerning low
denomination coins,
4. attitudes regarding potential changes
in coinage,
4. the use of rounding retail
transactions, and
6. demographic characteristics.
The data will be used to understand
the public’s use and perception of
specific U.S. circulating coinage for the
purpose of analyzing options and
proposing recommendations for
possible changes to the nation’s
circulating coins.
To obtain this information, the United
States Mint will conduct a nationally
representative random-digit-dial (RDD)
survey of 1,000 U.S. adults. The
proposed survey will include both
landline (700 interviews) and cellular
(300 interviews) telephones.
Interviewing will be conducted in both
English and Spanish. The questionnaire
should take 12 minutes to complete,
including two minutes to screen for
eligible participants (adults in the
cellular telephone sample, the adult
with the most recent birthday in the
household in the landline telephone
survey). The United States Mint
estimates the burden of this collection
of information will be as described in
the table below.
