Best Answer

The 11-sided design was chosen to help make the coin easy to tell apart from other coins, especially to help people who are visually impaired or blind. Those of us who are sighted can tell by its color, but for someone who relies on touch the 11 sides distinguish it from similar sized pieces such as quarters and halves.
