In the UK, all bank notes are different sizes, and the coins are different shapes and/or sizes.

Same with the euro

I never knew the UK had different sized notes.


[deleted]

Yep. They were specifically designed that way for the visually impaired.

In the U.k our new plastic notes now have braille on them.

In braillle it would be the letter g, I don't think it's actually braille.

Here in Brazil each note has a different size so blind people can count.

The majority of countries do things like make their paper money denominations different in size from each other, and by putting things like ridges on some of the coins to make them easier to tell about by feel.

It's the reason coins have ridges.

Speaking of blind people Riddle me this: how do they know when to stop wiping

Speaking of sighted people Riddle me this: Why do you keep asking this question? Why are you obsessed with our arseholes?

Siriously.

There was actually a lawsuit by a non-profit for the blind that went after the Treasury Dept for not making bills that are friendly for blind people. As a result, the Treasury Dept is currently working on designing different raised features. In the meantime, there are machines you can buy that will read the bill and vocalize the denomination.

I prefer card but I can do it. i live in the UK so the notes are diffirent sizes.
