Mint unveils first coin with Braille text


I think it is really cool that the U.S. mint designed a coin that can be read by blind citizens. Not only does it provide a chance for the blind to get a new opportunity to expand their experience base, but it also provides a nice gesture for the National Federation of the Blind with part of the proceeds heading towards this organization. I am all for providing the best possible quality of life for all citizens as desired by the Founding Fathers and this seems like a very nice chance to get a step closer to reaching this goal. I know that sometimes when fundraising efforts become commonplace and nonmeaningful they run the risk of being unsuccessful, but this new innovative coin may break this and give back to the community in a very special way.
