Braille is fine, but what about blind people who have no sense of touch? I think we might need smell and taste indicators. And they should beep different things, just to cover all the bases.

So then what about quadripeligic blind, deaf, anosmiac, dumb people? How are they going to handle money?

Cost of printing money will exceed the face value.

Simple. Each bill comes with a wafer-thin audio chip that announces what kind of denomination it is ("I'm a 20...I'm a 5...I'm a 10-spot."). As the legal requirements get more ridiculous, so will the solutions.

There are already bills recognizable by blind people. They are called coins. :)

The bigger question...is what about the dead?

How are they to see, feel, smell, vote?

Er....well skip the vote part...they do that just fine.
