[QUOTE]Originally posted by B.J.: [QB] I've seen related stories from blind people on both sides, some saying agreeing that a change was needed, others saying it's a waste of time. My question is what, if anything, do other countries do about it? I did find a partial answer in one article: [QUOTE]Lawyers for the American Council of the Blind have pushed their case by arguing that of the over 180 countries around the world that issue paper currency, only the United States prints bills that are identical in size and colour in all denominations. Euro bank notes, for example, are printed in differently sized denominations, while the Swiss Franc contains intaglio digits and a perforated numeral that can be identified by touch.[/QUOTE]I don't see the color being an issue to anyone, but I doubt the Treasury will change the sizes, since that would force the retooling of all the ATMs, vending machines, etc. Anything they do will have to be usable by the current machines.
