literacy crisis by celebrating the release of the Louis Braille Bicentennial
Silver Dollar (the first United States coin to contain proper tactile
Braille) on March 26, 2009, at the NFB Jernigan Institute in Baltimore,
Maryland.  

Festivities begin at 10:00 a.m. and will last until approximately 1:00 p.m.
Attendees will have the first opportunity to purchase the Louis Braille
Bicentennial Silver Dollar.  U.S. Mint Director Ed Moy will speak at the
event and will also be available to sign letters of authenticity.

offer the keynote address.  

A fair with light refreshments and Braille activities for all ages will be
held from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in conjunction with the launch ceremony.
