We blind people should be independent when it comes to our money; I feel that having different sized paper money would be clunky and impractical. All the cash registers would probably have to be redesigned to handle it for starters. Also, though we fold money in our wallets, and that makes it different sizes, when we unfold it to give it to people, it’s the same size, making it Easter to handle, at least in my opinion. Also, for about $100, there is a device called the iBill, which, from what I’ve heard on various pod casts, is extremely portable, and can be set to three different modes to identity money: Voice, Vibrate or Tone. I also hear that this device is extremely accurate. Even if you made a transaction somewhere, came home, used this device and found you’d been cheated, you could still call the company deal with the situation. But, you could also take the device with you, and check each bill as it’s handed to you. Then, if something didn’t seem right, you could deal with it right there. Either way, I feel that this system would be faster and better than trying to compare different sized bills, as I sometimes have to do with pennies and nickels, as to me, they feel very similar.
