Nothing was mentioned about money/currency. I am Canadian and while in some ways we don't have the same laws as the US with respect to accessibility and there is different legislation depending on which province you are in, I am at least happy that government both on the Federal and Provincial level seem to feel quite strongly about making sure their websites are accessible and since the new polymer bills were introduced which now is quite a few years ago, we have also accessible money as all bills are marked with various combinations of a 6-dot braille symbol. $5 bills have a single 6-dot symbol $10 bills have 2 $20 bills have 3 $50 bills have 4 $100 bills have 2, but they are spaced far apart, e.g. think of the 4 on the $50 bill which are side by side, but the two middle ones are not there so you only have one at the very left and one more towards the middle of the bill. If a bill gets to be super old and has been folded and crumpled up a lot they also can become difficult to feel, but it really does take quite a lot, you can even put these bills through the washer if you forget one in a pocket and they are no worse for wear. It's almost impossible to tear one and all in all I think it's a pretty good system.

I'm not from the US, I'm from New Zealand, and our government doesn't have anything like this. We have accessibility guidelines, but no legislation. Does this hearing mean that your money will finally become accessible, or does that fall outside the realm of technology? > 24/09/2023, at 03:04, Richard Turner <[email protected]> wrote: > > I thought this article was worth sharing. > > https://fcfreepresspa.com/u-s-senate-committee-addresses-accessible-government-technology/ > > > Richard > > “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.” > – Jane Wagner, from The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe. > > website: www.turner42.com > > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if > you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or > moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
