Alright, I have to start this out by saying I have NOTHING against blind people, I DO have something against stupidity though. I can get behind doing stuff to help people out who have certain physical challenges, no problem. Make my money different sizes, raise the lettering / numbering on them, makes no difference to me. BUT, to use the arguement that we need to do this because blind people have to rely on clerks to tell them what denomination(s) thay have in their hand is idiotic at best. First off, if a blind person is in a store, they probably have someone with them that can tell them what money they have in their hand. If they came with a guide dog (see, I think of everything), they STILL have to rely on the clerk to tell them how much something costs. Are we going to make braille price guns? Maybe, I dunno. It could be a very reasonable answer to the problem, I guess. It's the incompleteness of the thought process and law suit here that irritates me.

Good idea, make paper money readable to the blind so they can know exactly how many of their tax dollars are going toward bullshit like this.
The court has nothing better to do?
