Yes, I like dollar bills. But blind people need to know what bill they're giving.S.Lythberg wrote:

If it makes it to the supreme court, we may be seeing some funky money pretty soon.
That's just not true. I rarely ever come across bills that are in poor shape. Besides, I like the look of it.mikkel wrote:
Paper currency in the US really needs an upgrade. It just isn't made to cope with the wear and tear, and the notes are kept in circulation for way too long.
It couldn't have been racial sentiment at play there, right? I didn't see the movie, but Ray Charles started performing in the 50's, when there was a lot more anti-black sentiment in the nation.specialistx2324 wrote:
look at the movie "Ray" that Jamie Foxx did a few years ago when he played ray charles. Look at that one scene where Ray was supposed to be payed some money and how his boss took advantage of him..
It happened then and still happens now. Do you honestly not think that there aren't people unscrupulous enough that they wouldn't take advantage of a blind person, even if it wasn't racially motivated?SenorToenails wrote:

Besides, movies would never lie, right?
Citing a movie about a blind black guy getting screwed in the 50's solely because he happened to be blind? Come on.Agent_Dung_Bomb wrote:

All prices are usually inclusive of VAT (Value Added Tax) except for very large stores or wholesale stores. So when you go to buy a sandwich in Tesco and the price is 33p, that is actually the 27p ish + VAT. The money listed is the money you pay, as a whole.HurricaИe wrote:
While we're at it, can we include tax in the prices please? It's annoying when you go to Chipotle with $6 thinking it'll cover your burrito, but it's actually $6.09 because of tax. Don't they do that in Britain?
Maybe they don't what to have to pay for a credit card, maybe they owe a friend some money, maybe they want to make a purchase somewhere that doesn't, maybe they need money to put in a card, maybe they want some money for if they lose their credit card.................SenorToenails wrote:
As for blind people, why are they bitching now? Just about everyone in the US accepts credit...

That the number keys in a drive thru bank machine have dots on the keys for blind people (in canada for sure).
Its the law.
How many blind people drive?
This fact was brought to my attention from a very good friend of mine that teaches blind students in the public school system.
It's time to just get rid of paper money and switch everything to implants, cards or whatever. I'm tired of carrying that crap around.CaptainSpaulding71 wrote:

No, just shows that the ATM's at the drive-thru are identical to those inside the bank. ;-)CaptainSpaulding71 wrote:

Dollar coins. Or have a trusted friend help you fold your bills in a particular way. Blind people are not being blocked from using money. It's just not as easy.ZombieVampire! wrote:
