Paper Money Needs to be Compliant for the Blind

The US Treasury has changed the look of US paper money too many times. Other countries have colorful money in all different sizes, and ours is still green and all cut the same. But something I had never thought about until reading this article is that different sized bills can help blind people distinguish between different bill denominations.

Being a software developer, I have been required to make webpages compliant for the blind by using alt tags on pictures and graphs explaining the images, and making sites understandable for readers. It makes perfect sense to me that something that is so essential to living in our society should also be compliant.
