@@entirelybonkers8832 not sure why you’re expecting nationalism out of me, I would consider myself somewhat of a patriot but “best” implies that we are somehow superior in every way. It’s a relatively small thing to change given that we’ve got bigger things to worry about. I agree that it should be more accommodating for the blind, but I’m not in charge of treasury so I can’t do anything about it. Personally I feel there are more important things for them to worry about but yeah this is seemingly a quick fix so I think they should just get it over with.
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.
Yeah romanian notes have different colors and different textures As there are different types of plastic they are made of and the designs between the textures change. A 100 lei is very silky while a 10 bucks it's very plasticky
No, you’re fine. Even if they change it, the currency with the Queen on it will still be fine to use. Canada changed our 10 dollar bill years ago, and I still regularly use the old one without issue.
It's called reeding. The only coins in the United States that are smooth are the penny the nickel, and the new dollar coins. Before the new dollar coins of today we had the Eisenhower dollar coins and they had reeding on the edge of them too. The pennies and the nickels have a raised rim on them. The United States put reeding on the dimes and the quarters , and the dollar coins when they were made out of 90% silver to stop shaving the silver off.
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.
For now the U.S Treasury gives vision impaired people free devices to read bills, but yes it's pretty dumb this even has to be a thing. I would add though that in the U.S., cheating a blind person is considered a pretty massive and egregious thing to do, amogst others of disability, and it's a pretty strong moral qurik of the country that I am glad exists.
Yeah but it's still really stupid to carry those things around the US should actually make an effort to make peoples lives easier and safer but we don't
Here's the thing just think how many bills the US currently has in circulation and how may they print each year. So it won't be able to replace them right away but hopefully as New Year bills come out they finally start adding something for the visually impaired straight out the mint.
Hi Sam. You see the thing is, kindness requires strength. Thus, you have, ironically, revealed yourself as being cripplingly weak. Work on that. Quick. Because no-one is going to cater to it.
Then it’s not a good society. The point of civilization is to help our most vulnerable, especially in situations like this where it’s incredibly easy to do so.
@@FintanOMalley nope the point is to follow another new trend trying to make huge problems out of tiny inconveniences that already have tons of alternative solutions without ever actually acknowledging those solutions so that those following the trend can virtue signal and act like they care about the people effected most by those inconveniences without ever really doing anything to help anyone.
People keep talking about braille bills online this last two weeks, but nobody acknowledges the digital alternative and how it's just better all around. You can't hand a blind person braille stamped counterfeits if they paid with a card 🤷♀️
what about doctors? what about surgeons? what about schools for children with disabilities? blindness is probably one of the most catered-to disabilities in the world my guy 💀💀
@@virgil2461 Yes but america has better things to worry about. and yes doctors and surgeons exist here. And i'm specifically talking about the government, not a private sector.
Blindness is not some rare or obscure disability, and a society is judged by how it treats it’s vulnerable. You could go blind tomorrow. You would still deserve dignity and independence. Making money tactile is not especially difficult.
@@therougeshoppingcart9707 that doesn’t apply to blind people though, especially with easy accommodations. This blind patriotism is what keeps the US from improving.
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.
@@hashtag_thisguy yes But also IT is a thing people don't notice. it's a corner you don't usually touch and i doubt most people look that hard at small bills so I'm sure there's people unaware its even there
Well I don't know about in our countries but in the US we do have things that will rebuild and then a punch that goes with them to punch the the nomination of that bill is so it wouldn't be too hard for a counterfeiter to fake it.
In Brazil it's size. The more valuable the note, the bigger it is, the only exception being the 200 real bill, wich is the same size as an two real bill because the government said "fuck the blind".
An estimated 1.1 million Americans are legally blind. The United States has a population of about 338.2 million people. If you're legally blind, you may still be about to determine bank notes though. Honestly, they are more likely to remove all paper currency from circulation. Then give you Central Bank Digital Currencies that run a political risk of being turned on and off on a whim.
And different colours too, usually! Or at least, Bank of Scotland uses different colour ways for different notes. These are the colours for Bank of Scotland's polymer notes (paper notes are still being phased out, but it's mostly polymer notes we use now) £5 = blue £10 = cream, orange, and red £20 = purple £50 = red £100 = green
Brazil has differently sized bills... Whoever tougth of that didn't noticed that a blind person would need to have one of each bill to get to know them all... And it's really hard to notice size difference when it's Just 2cm off
Although The United States doesn't have a way of telling the money like other countries, it's very misleading for you to say that blind people in america don't have a way of telling money, when there's the free money reader that every blind person gets in the US. Not to mention the many apps there are and the techniques that are taught in order for us to tell our money apart.
I was just taught something new. I am a United States citizen, and I hate the fact that I cannot identify my money without the aid of some other device telling me what it is. why the heck can the United States make currency universal accessibility. I am impressed that the United Kingdom‘s, and Canada have a braille on them man maybe I should move over there.

Oh, I see.
Thanks for that.
You can hear the disappointment in his voice

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

oo grow up
what’s the new currency then?
As someone who can see, I see this as no problem
Blind people can't see but can still somehow see this is a problem.
Wbu the euro
Yeah, euro notes are pretty tactile and are all different sizes, and the euro coins are different sizes
Yeah like a 2 euro coin and a 50 cent coin are almost or am pretty sure the same size
america be like:
😶🌫️

At least we have a great talking book/Braille national library system.

US money still looks like budget monopoly money
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.
I have several bills from Canada. And you're right I just checked them none of them have Braille on them.

Not all the Bank notes have them, so it seems like people are adding them themselves
@@pob686 All current Canadian notes have them. Maybe not the older designes.

There’s no reason to invest in paper money when everything is payable with a card or on a phone🤣

how do you collect notes

There are pocket embossers that’ll do the work for you but it’s a bummer that they don’t have any way to tell you
Canadian plastic bills do our paper bills don't
Some cans of fizzy drinks have braille in them too. 😉
We also have no women on our bills.
Maybe more people are honest in the US?

In the school I work at, we have a cool label that presses braille into the dollars.
Crazy that's not already done
each bill has a different smell
british notes are also different sizes so you can tell them apart quickly
Brazilian Real notes are also different sizes and prints, and have tactile clues for differentiation
And different colours too, usually! Or at least, Bank of Scotland uses different colour ways for different notes. These are the colours for Bank of Scotland's polymer notes (paper notes are still being phased out, but it's mostly polymer notes we use now)
