US Law has always taken into account what is going on abroad in other civilised countries. The so called ‘M’Naghten Rules’ by which a defendent can not be held accountable for murder due to insantity was adopted by the US states in the 1840s and is still the standard used in most US states to this day. Look it up. It’s interesting.
Besides, I don’t see what the problem is making different denominations different sizes so the blind can tell them apart more easily. It isn’t going to make any difference to your life, but it would make a blind person’s life a hell of a lot easier and less dependent on other people’s honesty...
Yeah, I disagree with setting our laws by what other nations do.
I KNOW we don’t need courts telling us how to print money. They aren’t given that power in the Constitution.
Wlth all due respect, the problems begin with the manufacturing process. All of the industrial equipment necessary to produce paper money is tooled for same-size currency. It will take billions to replace these. Then you have the paper companies that supply the treasury printers. They might very well have to re-tool.
"It isn’t going to make any difference to your life,...
Aside from the billions in taxpayer dollars that it is going to cost? Billion here and a billion there and pretty soon you're talking about real money!
"... but it would make a blind person’s life a hell of a lot easier and less dependent on other people’s honesty..."
So we change the system that serves hundreds of millions of folks for the relative handfull of blind folks that have a problem with the system as it exists today? Is that reasonable?
