Does our paper money violate the law? Check out http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/20/news/money_blind/?postversion=2008052015
The article states, "A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the U.S. Treasury Department is violating the law by failing to design and issue currency that is readily distinguishable to blind and visually impaired people." The article also talks about how other currencies, such as the Euro, are much more accessible.
What are your thoughts on this? I would especially love to hear from anyone out there who is visually impaired!
