"Besides, I don’t see what the problem is making different denominations different sizes so the blind can tell them apart more easily."

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?

It’s not going to cost billions. Frankly, if it’s going ot make every blind person in America’s life a lot easier when it comes to making transactions, for the cost to you of a sum of money that won’t even make a noticable dent in your pay packet, suck it up and stop whining....
