The thing is, there is technology --and has been for years -- for
recognizing paper money.  I have a note teller. Given it is a little pricy,
that probably excludes some persons, but shouldn't be a problem as a
business expense if a person works with money on the job.  All we need is
another misconception about blindness that would make employers hesitant to
hire someone with a visual impairment.  It's kind of like saying color is
unfair to blind people.  Well, it is true things are color coded so persons
without color vision are at a disadvantage, but if we start nixing
everything in the environment as being exclusionary we will alienate the
world.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

There was something on the acb list but I didn't think about what it was
saying.
We sure don't need more coins.
They are heavy enough.
