<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 2566752, member: 59737&quot;]Hey folks, I recently took a tour with a blind coin collecting friend of mine (yes, you read that right <a href="http://blindcoincollector.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://blindcoincollector.com/" rel="nofollow">http://blindcoincollector.com/</a>) at the Smithsonian&#039;s Numismatic Gallery.&nbsp; We&#039;ve been discussing ways to get blind folks into coin collecting, or at least appreciate and understand coins.&nbsp; For my friend, he was interested in things he could touch and he seemed interested in the enlarged coins sold in the gift shop because he never really understood what a Lincoln cent looks like. </p><p><br /></p><p>We want to create a display for blind collectors that might even get shipped around the US to blind schools for students to handle.&nbsp; I would like to work on a project to get enlarged, possibly plate sized coins of pre 1995 US coins.&nbsp; Quarter, Cent, Nickel, etc.&nbsp; Maybe also some older ones like Wheat Cents, IHCs, Buffalo Nickel, and Barber.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any recommendations on how to produce the best scaled examples of US coins at the cheapest prices?&nbsp; I would appreciate some brainstorming to see what we can come up with.&nbsp; I may return in a couple weeks seeing if anyone wants to donate money for the molds and/or coins to be given away to the blind collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for reading![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
