When he said "this is a short demo" he REALLY meant it.

I marked all my $1s, with $100 braille. This way when I’m sad and crying cuz I’m broke, I touch my $1 bills and all of a sudden I feel rich.

Here in Australia, our notes have brail markings as well as being physically different sizes to help those with vision issues.

This would save a lot of people from being scammed!

My grandma was blind and she used to just ask someone in the family what it was and then she just folded it a certain way to where she would know.

As a Canadian, it is really odd that the bills aren't just marked with Braille when printed, but then I recall they're not made of plastic.

Videos like these makes me recount my blessings

How the US doesn't just have braille on its bills already is wild.

My grandma was blind due to diabetes. She would ask me what her bills were and she would fold them a certain way to be able to tell them apart. She would also feel for the ridges on dimes to tell them apart from Pennie’s. RIP grandma love you.

See my anxiety would not allow this if i was blind, it’d be like “are you sure you didnt mark the 1$ bill as a 20$ on accident

I don’t even need braille and am going to get this to start marking all of my bills💚

Australian bank notes are the most advanced in the world. They are made of polymer plastic, have holograms of wildlife, the extremely fine lines all match up perfectly when rolled into a cigar-like tube, they have clear sections and opaque sections, and ALL are marked with braille to tell their denominations. There are other countries that have similar qualities, but you will find that these notes are made in Australia.

[redwolf]

as a Zimbabwean, you don't even need to mark your bills with braille as all of them have the same value.

Fun Fact: Australia was the first country to add braille to their bank notes. Because they invented the technology used to make plastic bills. They later sold the technology to other countries.

In Poland we have different symbols for the bills, square for 10, circle for 20, diamond for 50, cross for 100, triangle for 200 and 8 small boxes for 500 polish złoty. (500 PLN is different due to relative recent design as it was introduced in 2017). Also size of the banknote is different depending on the value, higher value = bigger size

I need to show this video to my blind grandpa ASAP

[allison]

In Australia, the notes have braille already added when they are made
Edit: yo guys chill I did not mean to start a war in the replies

[twentyfivehourpharmacy]

Meanwhile, other countries just print braille into it in the first place

[ItsMeKriqu]

I just realized this should totally be a thing when they're printed

[carerforever]

Our Australian money already comes with brielle. But our money already comes in different sizes.
