Berry Valued Member United States 394 Posts	Posted 07/24/2006 2:35 pm Well biokemist6, to answer the question first, it was the Alabama quarter and it had Helen Keller on it. Rick, when you first posted that site, I contacted a very good friend of mine, who is blind, as is his wife. His wife is an absolute expert with braille while he doesn't even want to learn how to do braille. He mentioned to me that Helen Keller was on the Alabama quarter with braille and he opposed Helen Keller's politics so did not want any news about the quarter. He has me obligated to get him a "number" of the L. Braille coins when they come in in 2009 and if alive, I will. Berry Report this Post to the Staff
