I have a friend who is blind also, they seem to have no problem with the money because it is engraved, he can tell by feeling the ridges the different denominations, he has had to relearn the feel for the new type of bills they are putting out.

  I took classes with a woman who was blind. She was able to tell the difference in demoninations the same way
  I was always amazed that she was able to do this. I never could tell the difference with just feeling the bill

  I know a blind guy who uses nothing but $1 bills...kind of a pain, if you ask me.
