they are taught very unique ways to fold them and keep them in their wallets. now of course this is totally dependent upon the person giving them the cash being honest. fortunately, finally we are seeing a little bit of difference in our bank notes.

I don't know how it got started, but at one point in time, the final plack that is by the window where you pay and receive your goods, the one that has the contact info for the store, had braille contact info on it. I'm not sure if they all still do it, but I asked at the time (visions of interesting driving experiences were certainly dancing in my head!), and I was told that ALL of that information was required by law to be accessible to people of ALL reading abilities....
