    Court Finds Paper Money Unfair to Blind

      The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled Tuesday that paper money puts blind people at a disadvantage.

      The decision supported a ruling that could impel a complete redesign of U.S. currency. Possible changes could involve the printing of different sized bills, large numbers for those with poor vision, as well as remaking the bills with raised portions or indentations.

      The court ruled 2-1 in favor of a previous ruling, because the U.S. didn’t make clear why the implementation of these changes would be an “unreasonable burden,” since other countries have altered their currency to accommodate the blind.
