I wholly support doing what needs to be done to make the bills more accessible to the blind. But, interestingly, I have never found size/color to be a problem. Being from another country originally where bills are all manner of size and color, it was a shock to see bills exactly the same size and color. Interestingly, what happens is that one gets used to being more vigilant and checking the printed number and letters. The differently colored and sized bills were a huge problem -- you got used to one size and color for one kind of bills and then, bam!, new size and color were introduced and you had to train yourself differently. Mistakes were made all the time. Never, never once any mistakes with the USD.

I think I will shutdown my GPS, go home in my BMW, and watch CBS on my VCR.
