The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that paper money illegally discriminates against the blind and ordered an immediate ban on its use. “Government services must be equally accessible to all Americans,” the Court wrote. “Since paper money is inaccessible to blind, it must be made inaccessible to everyone.” The Court rejected the demand that it was responsible for identifying a substitute for the now illegal currency, but suggested, unofficially, that “we might try bartering.

Scott Ott? PING!
OK john, you can give me your paper money.
Why don’t we just burn all the court houses down and move the judges to the insane asylums?
joke, right?
Careful everyone...
I’m almost wondering if this isn’t a ruse to bring on the cashless society!
Good! Lets switch over to coins...GOLD and SILVER coins.
Mr. Semmens posts are believeable, but are tongue-in-cheek! :-) (I hope) :-(
If the dollars aren’t legal currency, then is bribery still illegal? It is D.C.!
In an example trying to explain the courts decision the following was issued "Since common sense is inaccessible to this court, it must be made inaccessible to everyone."
They won’t be happy until we are all blind, deaf, riding in a wheel chair and broke.
Having said that, we probably do need to have bills that are different sizes. The judge should have to exchange all my cash at 10 cent on the dollar. I get one dollar for every 10 cent worth of new money he changes.
That’s OK, I only have $7, And my 4 Bush and 1 McCain GRINGO DE MEXICO $00 NADA pesos are still good!?;^}
