May I be the first to suggest “Talking Money”? You pull it out of your wallet and a little chip in it shouts “I’m a five...I’m a five...I’m a five...” Kind of like the talking greeting cards...Of course, it would make theives jobs easier, they just have to listen for an opportunity...then it also discriminates against the deaf...oh well, money talks but “you know what” walks...
For one thing it takes us for fools for it is an oxymoron...if it's paper, it ain't money.
At one time in America the "certificates" were redeemable for Silver...now they are not certificates, they are "notes" from a phony "bank" and are irredeemable so they literally have less value than the cost of producing them.
Who sued on this case and why did they have standing in the Fed courts?
Lots of good lawsuits get thrown out because the court says there is no standing.
Paper money discriminates against me too! I just can’t get it to come to my wallet, even for a visit. Oh, sure maybe a one will show for a ‘hello’ but the really important guys never come around, you know, the ‘fiftys and hundreds’. I’ve tried to make friends with them but they all say they’ve hired out to someone else. (huge sigh)
If any of you have any old worn and useless paper monies about just send them to my house where they will treated as welcome strangers. thanks.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has upheld a ruling that could force the U.S. to redesign its money so blind people can distinguish between values.....
And why the hell not?....It’s only taxpayer money being flushed to pay for it!
LLOYD BRAUN: I’ll run in and get the gum.
JERRY: Alright.
LLOYD: Got any money?
Jerry digs his wallet out of his pocket. He opens it and extracts a bill. He peers at it, trying to work out what denomination it is, but the glasses are still too strong.
JERRY: (handing it over) Here.
/snip
LLOYD: Yeah. A hundred dollar’s worth.
JERRY: (incredulous) I gave you a hundred dollars?!
Perhaps it wasn't explained since Captain Obvious had another engagement that day.

uhhhh, get rid of the courts and start over...
We should eliminate paper money altogether and just tattoo everyone with a unique barcode.
(Is a sarc tag really needed here?)
Note Teller 2 is accurate, reliable and easy to operate. Bank notes can be inserted and read in any orientation. It turns on and off quickly and automatically.

The INCOME TAX discriminates against the middle class working people, and the blind.
Is there a lawsuit here?
Federal appeals court says blind must barter with debit cards.
Makes as much sense if not even more sense....
I stand ready, willing and able to relieve the sight-deficient of the horribly discriminatory “seeist” US paper currency which causes them offense.
Truly a sacrifice on my part, but I’ll do anything to make it all better.
Just wanna help out those poor folks, ya unnerstan?
