Court says money discriminates against blind people
2 hours, 9 minutes ago

The U.S. discriminates against blind people by printing paper money
that makes it impossible for them to distinguish among the bills'
varying values, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.

The ruling upholds a decision by a lower court in 2006. It could force
the Treasury Department to redesign its money. Suggested changes have
ranged from making bills different sizes to printing them with raised
markings.

The American Council for the Blind sued for such changes but the
Treasury Department has been fighting the case for about six years.

"I don't think we should have to rely on people to tell us what our
money is," said Mitch Pomerantz, the council's president.

The U.S. acknowledges the design hinders blind people but it argued
that blind people have adapted. Some relied on store clerks to help
them, some used credit cards and others folded certain corners to help
distinguish between bills.

complaining

I like the raised markings idea.

Efforts to make the world a fair place are to be commended. They would also
make our country look better.
