This smells like the appeals court in CA.

I can’t see how this is true.

Don't prejudge this one. It would be so so easy to put braille identifiers on all bills, and legally speaking what they're not doing violates the fourteenth amendment.

Paper or coins is irrelevant. They still have to trust the cashier to tell them what the total is. They’re blind. I’m sorry. Get over it.

It's not so obvious from the pictures, but they're all different sizes.

Here's the opinion:

(What's up with HTML links not happening?)

The opinion was written by Judith Rogers, a Clinton appointee. She was joined by Thomas Griffith, a GW Bush appointee. Dissenting was Arthur Raymond Randolph, a GHW Bush appointee.

Basically, the opinion affirms the district court's judgment that the current system violates the federal Rehabilitation Act. Treasury failed to show that the system could not be revamped to use different sized paper currency as is done in other countries.

Get ready for teeny tiny single dollar bills.

So they should add braile to bills; it might have the added benefit of making it harder to counterfit. Dual purpose.

What’s next?! Requesting any amount of “money” over $100 discriminates against poor people?

That is fine but how much you wanna bet some other group will complain and say they are not covered somehow.

As far as reasonable accomodation goes why stop at money. Most airliners can be flown by computer with no human intervention. I think the blind should sue to be pilots.

This is so WRONG. North Korea will be bankrupted before they can find someone to sell them presses that can duplicate our notes.

Accommodating everyone leaves no one happy.
