Australian bank notes also have Braille on their bank notes. The notes are also different sizes and different colours for each denomination. Also Australia actually invented the technology to make polymer bank notes like the new UK and Canada notes.

In some countries, the different denominations are different sizes.

the US has chipping on the edges of quarters but not on other coins which has been kept for the blind to tell apart and the coins are different sizes

And now I want to know, if I need to take them to my bank or something...

I’ve seen that you can actually buy a device that will impress the correct braille on a bill if you have a person or another device that can tell you how much the bill is. So in the United States you have to buy something to make money accessible if you’re blind which sounds about right for the US.

As someone who can see, I see this as no problem

We're _all_ blind when it comes to money

how would you see American freedom if you are blind?

Czech crowns have varying sizes of banknotes, and for coins (which go up to 50kč, ~2 dollars), they have varying ridge patterns that help the blind tell them apart easier.

US money still looks like budget monopoly money

[sara-name-unavailable]

if you think of it The braille could be seen as another level of proof it's real. it's very easily overlooked

[narmale]

thats because we dont have many blind people over here due to our drivers....

Living in Canada only about 40% to 50% of the bank notes have braille. So I don’t think they’re minted with Braille I think people are adding them.

Canada doesn't actually use Braille. There are just groups of 6 bumps. 1 group for the 5, 2 for 10, 3 for 20, 4 for 50, and the $100 bill has 2 groups of bumps that are far apart.
