Today at 12:00pm EST the US Mint will release the special Braille Education set for sale to the public. Production is limited to 25,000 and orders are limited to one per household. The set includes one uncirculated Louis Braille commemorative silver dollar in a tri-fold package with educational information and readable Braille.
Funds from the sale of Braille commemorative dollars go to the National Federation of the Blind to further Braille literacy programs.
Ordinarily, I wouldn’t expect this to be a big seller. I do wonder though if Tuesday’s announcement canceling the silver American Eagle proof and uncirculated coins might give a bit of a boost to the Braille set.
