Alabama's state quarter, which will be the first U.S. coin in circulation to include Braille, is seen in this handout photo from the Alabama Governor's office. The design, unveiled Monday, Oct. 7, 2002, by Gov. Don Siegelman includes an image of Helen Keller - an Alabama native who overcame blindness and deafness to become a writer and educator - reading a book in Braille.

Wouldn't a blind person be able to tell it's a quarter by its size? Is the Braille really necessary? ;)
