From:  Mrs. Patricia Maurer ? NFB Community Relations

Ms. Sabra Pressman from The Bureau of Engraving
and Printing attended the National Federation of
the Blind convention in Orlando, Florida.  They
launched the Pre-Pilot currency reader program,
providing currency readers to all qualified blind
or low vision participants who were interested in
a currency reader.  A representative will also be
attending the Blinded Veterans Association
conference providing readers to qualified
participants.  Only attendees of these
conventions/conferences can get a reader at this time, during the pre-launch.

Starting September 2, 2014, NLS patrons or folks
who want to become an NLS patron can call
1-888-657-7323 to pre-register to get a currency
reader when the National program rolls out in
January 2015.  Once you register in September,
you will be on the list for the first shipment of
readers to go out in January, or you can wait and
sign up in January when the program is opened up
to all blind and low vision folks.

If you have questions prior to September 2, 2014,
you can call The Bureau of Engraving and Printing at 844-815-9388.
