+grodan & fiabus Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hmm, my post seems to be gone. I was wondering if there is a coin for awareness of Downs syndrome? I would like to get one if there is one to get. Our son has Downs Syndrome so it would be a great way to spread the awareness through a geocoin. grodan Karin Quote Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I have never ever seen a coin for Down Syndrome. I have worked with special needs people for over 10 years people with Autism and Down Syndrome were always my favorite to work with. I have seen Autism coins and one in the works by Dark_Onyx, but never a Down Syndrome, if there is I would love to get one as well. Quote Link to comment
+Geo.Error Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I think it is a great idea. Special when you let the coin design by somebody who has Down syndrome. [maybe your son] Those people have art in there fingers. They made great art work from everything. Quote Link to comment
+007BigD Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Havent seen one. But sounds like the ball is rollin Gotta give ya a thumbs up ... Shasta has worked with the mentally disabled in the past and they were so much fun. Ive always thought that people with mental handicaps are the happiest people alive! They're always HAPPY! any idea's as to how it would be designed? I am sure it will be a coin that is special to many. Quote Link to comment

Come up with the message you want and have several individuals do artwork for it, then let the group select what they like best. Quote Link to comment
