This is the same initiative featured in the many meetings during our
national convention where people who attended actually received currency
readers early. It's a hot commodity!

Subject: FW: US Currency Reader

 

Good afternoon, the announcement below is from the Bureau of Engravings and
Printing (BEP) regarding the availability of currency readers. Here is a
link to the webpage with the article that has been pasted in below:

Bureau of Engraving and Printing

U.S. Department of the Treasury

 

As an interim measure in advance of issuing tactile-enhanced Federal Reserve
notes, the BEP is providing currency readers, free of charge, to eligible
blind and visually impaired individuals.

 

The BEP recently announced its distribution plans for the U.S. Currency
Reader Program.  Details of the announcement can be found in a press release
issued on Thursday, July 3, 2014, and another released on Monday, July 14,
2014.

 

The U.S. Currency Reader Program will launch in two phases:

 

Pilot:  Beginning September 2, 2014, in partnership with the National
Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, Library of
Congress, (NLS) the BEP will initiate a four-month pilot where NLS patrons
can pre-order a currency reader.  The pilot program allows the government to
test its ordering and distribution processes and gauge demand for currency
readers.   To receive a currency reader, eligible individuals who are
currently patrons of NLS need only call 1-888-NLS-READ; the account will be
noted and a currency reader will be delivered to the address on file.

 

National Rollout: Currency readers will be widely available to all U.S.
citizens, or persons legally residing in the U.S. who are blind or visually
impaired, starting January 2, 2015.  Individuals who are not NLS patrons
must submit an application, signed by a competent authority who can certify
eligibility. Applications will be available on this website and processed
for non-patrons of NLS beginning January 2, 2015.

 

Additional information about the U.S. Currency Reader Program and about the
currency reader device can be found in the links below.  The BEP encourages
organizations that support the blind and visually impaired community to
distribute these materials, or to incorporate the information provided into
individualized communications.

Reader Program you may call (844) 815-9388 toll-free or email

More about NLS:  NLS administers a free library program of braille and audio
materials available to U.S. residents and citizens living abroad whose low
vision, blindness, or physical handicap makes it difficult to read a
standard printed page.  More information about the program and other
services provided by NLS can be viewed at http://www.loc.gov/nls/.
