+Nochipra Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I have two designs that I would like everyone to look at and give some input on. These are ideas for some coins I would like to have made to create awareness that people with disabilities like to go geocaching as well. The wooden nickel is going to be our new signature item. We just got the mock up in an email yesterday. I plan to put these nickels in caches that I consider to be handicapped/wheelchair accessible caches and to trade at events. The other is a design I came up with in my print shop program. I was just curious if anyone would purchase these if we were to have them made? Quote Link to comment
+tw3nty3ight Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 It would be neat to have some braille on the coin somewhere Quote Link to comment
+wesleykey Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 It would be neat to have some braille on the coin somewhere I wonder if the "Trackable at gc.com" could be in Braille?? Quote Link to comment
+Nochipra Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 I was thinking of having the pictures either raised or sunken so that a blind person could feel the shape of the pictures and having braille under the words trackable at geocaching.com or having it in just braille but then the tracking number in both written and braille.

+Renegade Knight Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Perhaps mentioning handicaching.com on the coin would be a good thing? Even better supporting that site with any proceedes? Quote Link to comment
+derschlings Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I like. & I'd do the whole backside in braille... kinda like a puzzle coin... or one of those that has a message in binary. and the front would definitely have to be tactile: raised 3D images. Quote Link to comment

That's a good idea to do the lettering on the back in braille? Should I put the braille within the written letters or just do braille dots? I don't know if I should do the G in braille too or just do a raised regular letter G on the sign language letter? Quote Link to comment
