Bright Ideas
By Braden | May 27, 2008
So a federal appeals court ruled the other day that our paper money is “violating the law by failing to design and issue currency that is readily distinguishable to blind and visually impaired people.” It was suggested that we print different sized bills or bills with raised ink. I think I have a better idea:
Print money on varying-grit sandpaper
So a twenty would be 200 grit, a ten would be 120 grit, a five would be 100, and so on. Plus, how many blind people do you know that spend too much money? None! So this would encourage them to not hold onto those bills for very long so as to not have to replace their wallet every thirty days. This would stimulate the economy, save the United States, AND stop most natural disasters as far as my research shows.
“Hey! This is too smooth! Are you trying to stiff me?!
And no one would be without an emery board… unless they were broke.

Posted by: Braden on May 28th, 2008 at 3:25 amMaybe they should fund the new bills by getting rid of that extra tax break for blind people. If they do, though, I will eat my words if I ever go blind. (Because I won’t be able to see what I’m eating.)
