U.S. court: currency discriminates against the blind

Oh well. Use coin. Some things just are the way they are.

The same can be said for speeding tickets. I have good eyesight, and I still have trouble reading those things.

This just in...sidewalks discriminate against people without legs.

OMG...next it will be bi-lingual!

If the United States had a paper currency design like the Euro, the smaller the bills denomination, the smaller the size. This would make it easy for vision-impaired individuals to tell the denomination, not to mention a clerk at a store not mistaking one bill for another.

The euro also has different colors for the different denominations.

DEBIT CARD, problem solved.

I am offended by this article because I have no job and no money.

That really makes no sense. Bad analogy.

I don't see how anyone can argue against helping make life a bit easier for those who are blind.

Me thinks some of you just like complaining about any change. Wouldn't a "Christian Nation" want to help look after thier brother?

Oh I know, that depends on the financial burden. lol.

This is so.......odd, I mean they have never complained until now.....why?
Maybe now they'll start making braille money.

Nah, it's just a waste of a brain.

this just in ....people that are mute feel discriminated about voice dialing in their cell phones..

Give me a break!! When will the madness end?? How have blind folks managed to get by until now? The ones I know fold the money in different ways for different denominations.

they say money talks. mine always says,"GOODBYE!!"

so now what are deaf people going to do????

I see it as the change is the problem. Anyone can make a dollar braille to spend, but who is to say the change is accurate.

OK, what about a pen scanner "reader" to verify and sound denomination by "beep"

But at what cost?

Blind people have managed to use paper money for hundreds of years, longer even.

Are today's blind people less capable?

Good one Jane! And too true.
