First of all, I can definitely tell the difference between genuine and faux leather. Who can’t?

Secondly, there is absolutely no feasible or pragmatic way for a blind person to tell what denominations are passing through his hands.

Would you like to be constantly forced to take the word of any random stranger when it came to your money?

Not sure if you mean "using current money" or under any circumstances, but in some countries different denominations are different sizes, just as coins are here.

Money readers are available and they work for blind-deaf people as well.

Hmmm... Just think, if it were still at a Constitutionally defined ratio of Gold and Silver, the blind could merely use coin for most transactions... (Italicized most because for really big ones they might need something like a notarized cashiers check.)
