That is great.............my Brother is Blind and it can be difficult for him to distinguish between coins of similar size and our paper money is not at all easy.
All money should have braille,it makes sense,don't you think. Close your eyes and rummage through the coins in your pockets and see if you can tell what they all are.

That is a very cool coin. I am suprised that more coins do not have braille on them. It sounds like a good idea to me, Beale.
