“An effort to force a redesign of the nation's currency so the blind could more easily use paper money would be too expensive and could cause undue hardships on the vending machine industry”, the Bush administration says.
The administration asked an appeals court to overturn a ruling that could require the introduction of such features as Braille lettering, micro-perforations or varying the sizes of denominations to aid the blind and visually impaired.
We, the undersigned, believe that any citizen, including the visually impaired, should be able to know the amount of money one is holding without the assistance of a machine or other person.
Multiple options were given to allow blind or visually impaired citizens these rights. The orders given by a judge on November 29, 2006 should go through and not be appealed.
