Canada Post will be unveiling the country's first-ever Braille stamp at the Montreal Association for the Blind (MAB) on April 21, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the organization.

The stamp celebrates guide dogs for the blind and has the rate printed in Braille.

Do you know how they added the Braille dots to the stamp? I guess I could read the article to find out, but I'm lazy!
