I can do a pretty good job by process of elimination. If I can feel it in my wallet it sure isn't a hundred-dollar bill.

The state of California, in state buildings, had a policy (maybe still in force) that concession stands (snack bars, so forth), be run by blind operators. Many times, when in a state building, I'd purchase a package of M&Ms, or buy a soft drink, give the blind cashier my 20 (without telling him what it was), and he'd give me proper change. They always got it correct. For this judge to "determine" that the blind are incapable of telling the difference between bill denominations is absurd.

Me too, with one exception. If I can feel it in my wallet -- it's not my wallet :-)

Well, as one who could benefit from a much better eyesight, I'd say that the suit has a point and that the judge does not seem to deserve the obloqui. For those still sighted, like me, money bills color coding would be of great help. For the completely blind, having raised printing on the bills [not that much of a change- let the words "twenty dollars" be embossed on the bill strongly enough] would help, too. After all, taking advantage of the blind is more reprehensible than defrauding those who could at least see the swindle. So, if it can be done at reasonable cost, why not do it?
