In Aus we have these little hologram things on the notes, each different note (5, 10, 20 etc) has a different hologram so blind people can touch the plastic hologram thing and know what note it is. Simple eh?

We also have different colours for people with bad eyesight, so semi blind people can easily figure out what note it is that they have.

I invented scratch and sniff cash.  Specifically, as the bill gets larger, it smells better.  So $1 bills smell like dog poop, the $5 bills smell like stale beer, the $10 smells like cheap perfume...and so on.

I patented it so don't get any ideas...

Yea they may be incurable, but that is their cross to bear, not mine.  Why should the majority compromise their way of life to the minority?  I know that is what you are all about but, that is idiotic Cam.  Actually, new studies released show that obesity is gene related -so what then man?  Screw my "practically nil" sacrifice.  I'm tired of bending for people.  When was the last time that any one has done anything for me - the normal Joe?  Hell, last year, the phrase "Merry Christmas" was under fire.  Too much of a religion connotation.  These nut balls still wanted the holiday off, but don't want me to acknowledge where it originated?  To that I say "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!"

poe, it seems i remember you posting not too long ago, i think in the "mentally retarded" thread, something along the lines of "since when does anyone have to contribute anything to society", now we all have to change our way of life because a relatively insignificant portion of the population suffers a disability. which is it?

How does this change your way of life?  Using different sizes bills?  Wow, your way of life is easily changed.

a complete retooling of the US mint would be an unnecessary tax burden on me, if it were eventually phased in over a long period of time to coincide with the regular redesigning of the bills I'd entertain the idea, but you know that's not going to be enough for the ACLU. Besides, without one of each bill to compare it to it's still going to be near impossible for even a blind person to differentiate between the bills. I purchase food from a blind dude here about 3 times a week, he never has any problem, and uses one of the handheld scanners. which is accurate 100% of the time. Even then he only uses it to verify his totals for deposit at the end of the day, as everyone uses the "honor" system. I say "I got a diet coke and some pistachios, here's a 5". of course i realize the honor code doesn't work everywhere, and that's where the scanners come in to play. they get smaller and cheaper every year. again at no cost to the blind person, and it's 100% accurate, as well as scanning for counterfeits as well, which you can't do by touch alone ( it plays a big part, but can still be overcome).
