The mission of the National Federation of the Blind is to achieve widespread emotional acceptance and intellectual understanding that the real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the misconceptions and lack of information which exist. We do this by bringing blind people together to share successes, to support each other in times of failure, and to create imaginative solutions.

Proceeds from the coin will go to the National Federation of the Blind’s Braille Readers are Leaders campaign, which is devoted to reversing the downward trend in Braille literacy.
