[nfbcs] Last Chance to Help Braille Literacy with Coin Purchase

Sat Dec 5 21:59:59 UTC 2009

I can't imagine why you couldn't buy the coines. 

I bet the mint would be happy to take your credit card. (grin)!! Please buy lots and lots. I have.

Good afternoon,

Just wondering if Canadians can purchase the Braille coin, or if the  
availability is only for Americans?

Thanks,
