Mortgaging My Soul, Once Again

Well folks, it looks like we'll be getting different money in the States in a wee bit.  Apparently our current money system discriminates against the blind folks.

Blind Currency 

Now when I first read this I laughed and found it absurd.  However, after thinking about it for a few moments, I realized that, "Hey, this is probably a good idea." I guess we just take it for granted that we're able to spend money and knowing *how* much we're giving to the cashier.  If memory serves me correctly, the blind would have the bills folded in their wallet in different ways to indicate which bill is which.  However, if the "seeing" person folded it wrong and the cashier was less-than-honest, I can see the issues with that system.

But I don't want different sized bills.  That'll piss me off.  I want raised bumps or something like that; make the money textured.  Not that I would notice, as I hardly use cash.

I'm all for making it easier for the handicapped.  However, I worry when I see ATMs with Braille on the buttons.  Because, as we all know, the blind drivers that we have need assistance with the drive-up ATMs
