I just bought four coins: 1 for our chapter and 3 for my grand kids.
They'll arrive around May 17th.  The trouble comes if you order on the
phone.  It took me more or less of two days.  The mint needs to hire some
blind people to work at call centers all across the country.  I also engaged
my mint rep in a lively debate  as to whether Braille should appear on paper
money as well, and it's not even light out yet. I gotta go.
