Here is what my wife made to present the coin to her. Ken Report this Post to the Staff

Ceylon62 Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 06:22 am Ken The US mint put out various Louis Braille sets in 2009. Below are some links from the mint. The coins and educational sets are no longer available. But can be picked up on ebay around melt. The educational set seems to have a wide price range of $60 to $90 as only a few K sold. I was impressed with the quality of coins. Text below from US Mint Quote: Now, for the first time in history, a United States coin features readable Braille. Proof and Unc desc http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs...louisbraille Educational set http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...43&langId=-1 That's very thoughtful of you and your family.

kena Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1682 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 3:37 pm Thanks for the feedback. I have the 2009 Proof Louis Braille coin for myself. The coin from India allowed us to make something inexpensive for a little girl who is legally blind. Ken Report this Post to the Staff
