Quite unrelated to this stamp issue, I was wondering if the Indian currency
notes are embossed with their denominational value in braille as well -- as
our Canadian dollar has been for years. If not, AI members may want to
start a thread on this. And, do you guys have the electronic bill readers?

Hello,
We contacted Kolkata GPO for 1000 stamps on Louis Braille for use in our
correspondence about two weeks ago. The stamps were not available then.
It's a good idea and all organisations must do it.
Best regards,
Amiyo Biswas.

Subject: [AI] Postal stamp
Friends,
We are very happy to inform you that to commemorate the birth bicentenary
of Louis Braille, the Government of India has released a postal stamp of
Rs. 5.00. Another interesting fact is that the name Louis Braille is
embossed in Braille itself.
We request you to kindly use this stamp in your Official correspondences
and thus create maximum awareness for the Braille script, which was a
major breakthrough in the Education and Rehabilitation of the visually
challenged persons.
Thanking you
Yours Sincerely,
Praful Vyas,
