> Proof 118,035
> Uncirculated 44,138
> Uncirculated Easy-Open Capsule 19,089

> strategy.  We will post weekly figures to this list.  We also update
> numbers and provide other Braille Literacy information through Twitter,
> so make sure you follow BrailleLiteracy.

> 2. Many of you have been calling to get the promotional coin business
> cards we have made available.  So many of you that we ran out.  We

> will let you know as soon as they land at the NCB.
