I don't know about the US, but in most countries, banknotes aren't the same size and they have a different twxture so blind people can distinguish between them. They are also in different bright colors so visually impaired people, who can see a little bit, can differentiate between them. Plus, in my country, Morocco, money comes with braille's text.
I'm Canada they're all the same size. Very different colors and have Braille in the corners. You can also point a laser through a portion of the bill to project a hologram of the face value (security feature that's also fun)
In japan there are marks in the corners of the bill that are slightly embossed. 1k has underscores, 2k has triple dots, 5k has octagon, and 10k has L (the other side is mirrored though). The update on the bills that’s coming soon makes them have a group of 11 embossed slashes, but they are placed on distinct places so that each can still be distinguished.
Those can also be altered later in Iraq we have size differences… 250 dinars is small 500 is bigger 1000 is much bigger 5000 is much more bigger you can measure them by finger
Polish bills vary in size and colour, and have different tactile shapes (the numbers might also be tactile but dont quote me on that idk where i put my money)
Just checked, they are *sliiiightly* tactile, I know that 200 has few diagonal lines but the numbers are just different texture, not that noticeable. But an interesting thing is, every bill also has a different shape attached to it with the same texture as the numbers, I know that 200 has a triangle, 100 a plus, 50 a diamond shape, 20 has a circle and I'm only guessing 10 has a square but I'm not 100% sure. Besides different sizes and colors, they help visually impaired people a lot, 200 is golden, 100 is green, 50 is blue, 20 is pink or magenta, and 10 is brown.
Fun fact: Czech coins each have different ridges so that blind people can tell them appart. Sadly however, it only goes up to 50 crowns (our 2$ equivalent), because 100kč is a banknote.

In Canada, bank notes have Braille cells on them to denote value (with one cell being a five, two cells for a 10, etc.) And each value is also a different colour which helps greatly for low-vision use. I believe they use a number of full Braille cells instead of writing the actual number in case it starts to wear over time. That way, there’s no risk of the number feeling different. There’s either a cell or there isn’t. Also, they’re made of polymer instead of paper / cotton, so the Braille doesn’t wear down quite as quickly.
@@lucasmeijer9111 Yep. If you shine a laser through the maple leaf of a Canadian bill and onto a table, it actually displays the value of the bill as a security feature
Brazilian bills have a different size each. There are the 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 bills, each one with their own size so blind people can tell. Not much difference in size but definitely enough difference for them to be able to tell. I think thats the best way to do it tbh
They're also different in color, for those who can see but not very well/can't read. And they also have markings on the corner, so the blind can know the value even if they can't compare different bills. It is truly a well thought system.
Fun fact, for you, from a blind person here, first of all, we use the Internet, just like you guys do, and many people, including myself, or not “totally blind.“ Visual impairment is a spectrum, I had classmates at a school for the blind, who are able to drive, yes, they have restricted licenses and technology that helps them to see, but technology nowadays is very efficient and advanced. There are apps that allow you to take a photo of some thing, and it describes it so well, I can pick up just as much details as he would be able to see. Although I have some functional vision, so I’m still able to do things like read, see color, etc. but I use some devices to do these things, including my phone, my iPad, etc.
in Australia not only do they have brail in the top left (on the newer notes at least) but they are also different sizes 5 being the smallest and 100 being the biggest
Imagine being blind and you get scammed because someone gave you 1 dollar but the scammer says it's one hundred, you didn't realise it first because his fingers are covering the Braille.
Way more important than reading bills, was reading credit card numbers, expiration dates, and CVS's... off a card to punch them into your online payment systems like Paypal, etc. While I was blind, I rarely used paper money. It was all buying online or swiping a credit card, and doing your best to push yourself to set up autobill pay on all of them. Why? Because writing out checks to pay credit card bills was a royal PITA and time consuming when you could barely see what you were writing under a microscope. A lot of things done to help the blind don't help the blind at all, while others that have nothing to do with helping the blind are life savers. Dayglo plastic flagging tape, for example, used to mark construction sticks in the ground... I used that everywhere. On tools so I wouldn't loose them when I set them on the ground, around tree trunks outdoors so I would get my bearings if lost, at the ends of extension cords and hoses, around wallets or phones or tied to your key chains.
Im amazed that this is needed in the USA. Euro notes are very easily distinguishable from each others for blind and visually impaired by using different sizes, ridges and general feel.
In the UK the braille is common amongst all of the Pound Notes Also another good way of knowing if it is fake or not since the braille can't be replicated perfectly or at all
Here in the UK, I think the note actually have a little bit of useless braille on it, but to help the vigilant impaired all the notes are different colours and they are bright colours. They’re also physically different sizes, the bigger than the bigger the value

The braille Device is a good idea but it’s actually not legal to do that to the bill but I do think the U.S should put something like that to identify the money better for those impaired visually
While its technically not legal you also have to undersrand that there is not a single court that would prosecute a blind person for having braille on their bills. Cases of defacing US currency are almost always due to the defacement SPECIFICALLY for the reason of some sort of fraud going on (ie shaving coins for extra metal to sell)
@@Juttyet i suppose but again, i think the majority who work as a cashier would still recognize and accept the bills. Im sure there are a handful of exceptions but i think almost any cashier a blind shopper would encounter would take bills that were marked in braille. Edit: I know this is anecdotal evidence which is not always the strongest but a guy i went to high school with was blind and actually did mark his money with braille and had no issues with any cashier at any store accepting his money.
In the UK its been thought of. This is from the Bank of England website: Each banknote denomination is a different size. The higher the value of a note, the larger it is. On the front of the notes (the side with raised print), the value can be identified by the number of clusters of raised dots in the top left corner. The £5 has none, the £10 has two, the £20 has three and the £50 has four clusters. We have investigated braille, but understand from the Royal National Institute of Blind People that many partially sighted people do not read braille. Braille is also language-specific, which means any braille we used would only make sense in English.
My friend who is blind one time got the cops called on her because she punched braille into it and the clerk at the business accuse her of “tampering with money”, which is a federal offense. Thankfully, the cop was very understanding and let us go.
I once heard that you can feel it in the indentations of the numbers. I have no idea how it works with your dollars, but it works with euros. Some people fold the corners in a certain way, others use different pockets for the different notes. 20s in the left pocket, 10s in the right pocket, etc...
In India all currency note have impression mark so that specially abled person can identify notes. 🇮🇳 And Reserve Bank of India also developed Android app to identify notes, this app can works without an active internet connection.
I actually know the gentleman who invented the bill reader for currency for the blind. He is a computer engineer who developed this back in the late 70's to assist blind folks while in college.
In Mexico the money paper has different sizes and textures, also the coins have different sizes, textures and shapes. So, you can tell exactly witch money paper or coin you have only by touch.
Incorporate both into a wallet for the blind. One part to read the bill, individual bill holders for 1's, 5's, 10's, 20's, 50's and 100's that will imprint brail onto the bill while sitting in the wallet. They can check the reader any time they're not sure
In Australia, there are little bumps (not braille) on the notes which help the blind. On a $5 note, there is 1, on $10 there are 2 on $20 there are 3, on $50 there are 4 and on $100 there are 5 (I think, I don't have a $100 note)

Ooooooh the video came out earlier (I wonder if it's a timezone thing), it was a pleasant surprise tbh ☺
And especially bc it's the facial nerve and taste test part of the CNE, this is also one of my favorite parts... Maybe my 2nd favorite part tbh 😊
I just finished watching it, loved the video as always Birch! ☺Thank you so much for your amazing work 🤗 And I really liked to see the teardrop and saliva test in the end, I almost don't see that test in CNEs here on YT... 👀 I failed that one irl, but it happened bc of an autoimmune condition I have (it's Sjögrens iirc, I have quite a lot health issues ☠) rather than a CN issue 🥴
Anyways I'm really sleepy rn and not feeling well, so I hope this comment makes sense at all... Hope you are doing well Birch, have a great weekend and take care x 💖
Where i love the notes and coins are different sizes and have markings for the blind for at least 40 years. So good job America
The braille Device is a good idea but it’s actually not legal to do that to the bill but I do think the U.S should put something like that to identify the money better for those impaired visually
Isnt it legal tho? This doesn't have the intent to "render bill unfit to be reissued". Bill is clearly still usable after adding braille.
@@YourSuizo look it up i was curious myself and read it’s not legal
While its technically not legal you also have to undersrand that there is not a single court that would prosecute a blind person for having braille on their bills. Cases of defacing US currency are almost always due to the defacement SPECIFICALLY for the reason of some sort of fraud going on (ie shaving coins for extra metal to sell)
@@SyllabusTheWise0047 and sometimes cashiers can deny the dollar if they feel it isn’t legal to use.
@@Juttyet i suppose but again, i think the majority who work as a cashier would still recognize and accept the bills. Im sure there are a handful of exceptions but i think almost any cashier a blind shopper would encounter would take bills that were marked in braille.
Edit: I know this is anecdotal evidence which is not always the strongest but a guy i went to high school with was blind and actually did mark his money with braille and had no issues with any cashier at any store accepting his money.
Could never be a canadian problem
Lmao but your government seizing your bank account for protesting is.
I forgot people still used paper money
In the UK its been thought of. This is from the Bank of England website:
Each banknote denomination is a different size. The higher the value of a note, the larger it is.
On the front of the notes (the side with raised print), the value can be identified by the number of clusters of raised dots in the top left corner. The £5 has none, the £10 has two, the £20 has three and the £50 has four clusters.
We have investigated braille, but understand from the Royal National Institute of Blind People that many partially sighted people do not read braille. Braille is also language-specific, which means any braille we used would only make sense in English.
Imaging a blind drug dealer 😂 would be so easy to rob
Here in Brazil, all money has a different size, bills and coins, to differentiate them easier.
Or fold em like Daredevil does lol
In Europe the notes have different sizes, this is better and simpler
Furthermore this braille will be lost when the note get older
Fantastic idea
I've actually held money that had the braille punched on it but never knew that's what it was!
My friend who is blind one time got the cops called on her because she punched braille into it and the clerk at the business accuse her of “tampering with money”, which is a federal offense. Thankfully, the cop was very understanding and let us go.
That’s what the bumps on the money were! Neat!
I once heard that you can feel it in the indentations of the numbers. I have no idea how it works with your dollars, but it works with euros. Some people fold the corners in a certain way, others use different pockets for the different notes. 20s in the left pocket, 10s in the right pocket, etc...
I've worked at banks for 3 years and only like last week did I come across one of those tactile bills,
cool video
"Why have you made the tools 2 different colors?"
"Oh, so the customer can easily see the difference between them."
Indian currency also have markings on it which is understandable when touched
"dw he dont bite"
"two ways to tell money apart wheSubscribe d"
Indian currency notes ve elevated printing for helping blind differentiate notes
In India all currency note have impression mark so that specially abled person can identify notes. 🇮🇳
And Reserve Bank of India also developed Android app to identify notes, this app can works without an active internet connection.
In Bangladesh, moneys have some raised threads and shapes to understand it's value for blinds
Me looking at my aussie money with brail on it:
My dad is blind and when he’s paying for things he just pulls out his money and goes “how much is this?”
In Australia we have braille on our notes!
India: hold my tea
You know with all the wild DE&I initiatives, this is an incredibly easy solve that can be implemented almost overnight to help people out
Bruh I can’t put a USB in my pc and you expect a blind guy to do this
Proud to be an Indian🇮🇳 we already have Braille from long time
I only own Benjamin Franklin's
You need Aussie notes, they’ve had braille on notes for decades….lol.😂😂😂
I actually know the gentleman who invented the bill reader for currency for the blind. He is a computer engineer who developed this back in the late 70's to assist blind folks while in college.
We have the second one at work. We put braille on all of our bills. A lot of our regulars are blind and they absolutely love it
the mint should make the braille on currencies a standard feature for the blind.
In Mexico the money paper has different sizes and textures, also the coins have different sizes, textures and shapes. So, you can tell exactly witch money paper or coin you have only by touch.
high functioning person that’s blind usually folds the corners of their bills certain way and have no problem using money 😊
Fun fact: i shid my pants
How that blind man can enter it in the reader man is so smart 😂
In canada we got bright diffrent colour bills, braille on em, and all the coins your able to tell what it is off size and shape
In the UK our notes are different sizes and already have braille raised dots in the top left corner.
Incorporate both into a wallet for the blind. One part to read the bill, individual bill holders for 1's, 5's, 10's, 20's, 50's and 100's that will imprint brail onto the bill while sitting in the wallet.
They can check the reader any time they're not sure
Braille makes so much sense for currency.
That is a very simple solution
I live in Canada and that standard on our bills. They’re minted like that.
In Australia, there are little bumps (not braille) on the notes which help the blind. On a $5 note, there is 1, on $10 there are 2 on $20 there are 3, on $50 there are 4 and on $100 there are 5 (I think, I don't have a $100 note)
México bills have braile etched on the front and back since year 2000
I never thought about how money sucks for blind people
the fact that the dollar still doesn't have a way for blind to check the value is crazy
make a meme where the first one has mr krabs voice and just says "money!"
Good luck getting a vending machine to work with the orange one
Ohhhh man. I wanna buy the punch and put $50 on every bill. Even random pieces of paper too! Lmfao
In Brazil we use different sizes for banknotes, so it is easier to identify even without seeing them.
Australia has bills WITH braille AND they can electronically read out the denomination to you.
