the color of money

I hope this upholds.

A recent ruling by a federal court may mandate the creation of currency that is sized to accommodate blind people. I think this is a great idea. Most countries have currency that are different sizes or colors depending on denomination. This makes it easier for people with vision problems or disabilities to distinguish. In the US, our currency is limiting for many people. A change will open the world up to a large population of people who currently have difficulty doing something that we take for granted. With something so easy to fix, why not just fix it? It is sad to me for people to fight something that would greatly improve peoples lives due to nominal cost.
