Is that a Dollar or a Twenty?

The other night, I was watching a late night program and had something I had never thought about brought to my attention. Here is my question for you . . .

If you had no use of your eyes, how would you tell the difference between a $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, or $100 U.S. dollar bill??

Go in a room with no windows an attempt to tell the difference between a $1 bill and a $20 bill . . . can you do it?? I bet you cannot!!

If you were blind and alone shopping, how would you know that the clerk was giving you the correct change?? There is no difference in size, shape, or texture of the United State paper money . . . so, this leave those with vision impairments totally at the mercy of those serving them in stores.

It seems that the U.S. Government has made a HUGE OVERSIGHT in the American Disabilities Act and are in a sense"discriminating" against those who have vision impairment by not making any distinguishable markings on the U.S. bills. There is no way to tell the difference! And they will right the wrong, the NEXT TIME THE BILLS are REDESIGNED!! Really, so they all must wait for the bills to be REDESIGNED!! It would seem would would say, the bills need to be redesigned NOW and printed by X date!!

Really, how hard is it to add epoxy marks the bills, make them difference sizes, or a myriad of other things that would create a way for vision impaired to distinguish between them . . .

I don't get up on my soap box much, but really, I think this is a huge disservice to many American citizens to wait for the bills to be redesigned!!! Hello!!! Thoughts??
