I didn't scan anything- that is a link from a news article. I saw that on teevee while I was surfing. Can't you just let it be

I like it. Our money is ugly and boring, and they are now trying to spice it up some.

Spicing it up is one thing; making it actually worth something, well, that's something else...

Oddly enough, the redesign is to help with that. Just not in the aspect you're referencing.

The redesigns are to make counterfeiting alot more difficult [usually in the order of it not longer being 'cheaper' to print your own counterfeit funds than the currency is worth anyway].

To be honest, don't expect the Dollar to get changed soon, unless it's a change to drop the paper dollar entirely and go to the coin .

Just one step closer to being a Canadian, LOL.

I've heard this argument before, that money discriminates against the blind. But in today's world, use a debit / credit card, so every purchase is documented and fraud is investigated. Otherwise there are too many things already built that depend on money being a specific size. They'll never go through the expense of changing money as long as there's already a better alternative for blind people to use.

not all places accept debit/CC, and how does it help the blind? when I buy with CC or debit I get a piece of paper or a device that shows a # on it and I say OK. if that numer is 10$ or 100$ the blind can't tell the difference.

[Anthony P]

They really need to make our bills different sizes and use other features so blind people can identify them by touch

can the do that? we don't have sizes here i Canada, but I think there are pro's and con's

pro:
helps blind or when fiddling through your pocket

Con:
machines need to accept different sizes
small bills become too small and big ones too big
I think it makes it easier to lose some cash (i.e. a smaller bill stuck between two larger ones)

welcome to canada! we've had monopoly money for the last 7 years or so... we got blue 5s, purple 10s, green 20s, red 50s and brown 100s


*do not pass go, do not collect 200$ go directly to jail
