New Money: Do you believe it's necessary to print money that is easily distinguishable to visually impaired people?
Comment: Having been in foreign countries I am aware of how their bills vary in size. Barring size differences, sone features probably would be less costly to print. from Gulf Breeze by Don
Comment: California’s ruling on gays and lesbians getting married last week is no surprise. No wonder the world is having so many disasters. No prayer in school. In God We Trust, outlawed in Post Offices, and Court rooms. The 10 Commandments outlawed from schools, court rooms. The U.S.A. was founded on Religion and now it seems the word of God is a no-no. Now they will use any excuse to remove "In God We Trust" from our money. We are having tornados, hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes and a lot of people think its (Gore’s (global warming). Hogwash! We haven’t seem anything so far. As the world turns more and more away from God, things will get worse and the death and destruction will follow.
Thank You! by Wilber
Comment: First let me say that by being fortunate enough to be sighted, I have a prejudice on this subject whether I admit it or not (so does everyone else with sight). It is virtually impossible to "know" what it is like to be without sight, trying to get through life. My sighted prejudice tells me no, we have enough money woes without looking for more. I do believe the use of paper money would greatly enhance unsighted people's quality of life if it were somehow treated to tell in brail what the denomination of a bill is. That is not possible with the way paper money is treated in this country on a day to day basis. Although that one solution seems inadequate, I'm sure that with all the resources available, the US Treasury Department could eventually devise something, without creating kaos with our current monetary system. After all, they have successfully changed the dye of several bills to deter counterfeiting. from Mary Esther, Fl. by Tom
Comment: No, because that is the problem with our government they are always a day late and a dollar short. If it ain't broke don't fix it. from Pensacola by Gary
Comment: I feel that it should be a more progressive change as in allowing the blind fee free check card accounts and adding voice response to the card swiping machines for the seeing impaired from Milton,Florida by Carla

Comment: Wilber, you idiot, how does your comment have anything to do with re-printing money so that blind people can use it? by Jimmy
Comment: We should start using anti-counterfeit products, such as polypropylene or foil. Also incorporate braille into the numbers on the corners of each bill. Same size is good, just different locations of the markings on each denomination. from Pensacola, FL by Scot
Comment: Judge Judith Rogers has done some stupid things in the past and she is still stupid. She likes her name in the news. There is over 300 million people in the U.S. and we are going to have to stop letting a small majority tell us what to do.
Comment: I have come accross blind people trying to hustle a living just like us. Why not make it easier on them. from Pensacola, Fl by Rickie
Comment: Blind people have managed for decades to handle paper money. Why are they suddenly more handicapped? Will we next need special currency for amputees or those who suffer from arthritis? The cost of the studies plus any changes would surely outweigh the benefit to the general public. from Pensacola FL by Sue
