<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 8199184, member: 5372&quot;]A person blind since birth can not relate to the majority of descriptions used.</p><p>Touch...smell...hearing....</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is not smooth, like the skin of a newborn, but rather the skin of a&nbsp; young boy that has been playing and scratching his skin and getting little holes in it, or the face stubble of a young boy entering manhood, with a few holes from picking pimples</p><p><br /></p><p>The smell is similar to the old watch that has seen better days and has a used odor to it.&nbsp; It is not like the smell of a new coin the bank just gave you.</p><p><br /></p><p>The sound it makes when clicked with your finger is hollow in part and in other parts sound like dropping the soap in the sink, and it is because there is some loss of the newness of the feel of a silk napkin on some of the area, and in other parts of the area it is a similar feel to a coffee cup that has not been rinsed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The smell is similar to very old silver that has been polished, but not dusted or cleaned for a long time. There are areas that make you think of the smoothness of new paint joining old paint, and the difference feels like the worn area of a very well made suit....</p><p><br /></p><p>blahblahblah,point made?</p><p><br /></p><p>If the person lost their sight after being exposed to the world of sight and understands the concept of color and old vs. new metal feel and&nbsp; appearance, etc., then maybe some of the descriptions would be decipherable to a sightless person...but some are a stretch, and may frustrate the person to the point of instituting a cane or dog attack.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
