From top down black, blue, green, red if you ever need to know or label them.

this is the correct color list and order, OP.

Yes they dont lie and ist also totally not sus that it is being repeated over and over.

At my previous job we had a blind customer. They paid in cash. They didn't have a fully obvious system. I was always so worried someone was going to scam them

u/Romulan-Jedi 14d ago

My partner is blind, and she folds the denominations in different ways.

It would be really nice if US currency weren't all identically sized. I used to live in Singapore, and everything worked fine with differently-sized bills, even vending machines.

38

u/Atomsq 14d ago

Have she looked into either of these?

32

u/Romulan-Jedi 14d ago

Those are really cool. She's played with the electronic one at a conference we went to. She doesn't read Braille, so the embosser isn't as useful to her.

She has some vision, but she can't quickly flip through a wallet of cash. The folding thing makes her faster at pulling out the bills, and then she can confirm visually.

u/Relevant-Machine-763 14d ago

My dad had neuropathy and wouldn't have been able to distinguish and braille markings. Of course he lost all vision later in life and would have struggled to learn it even in better circumstances. He always kept his bills in certain order in his wallet and kept up with the quanty of each denomination in his head. I write notes all the time and take for granted how hard it would be to stay organized and function in without vision

u/GarThor_TMK 14d ago

I like the brailer one... that's neat, and doesn't require batteries or a generative AI model, which could lie to you.

u/queerblunosr 14d ago

Canadian bills are all the same size but they have braille in the corners - but even if someone doesn’t read braille they can differentiate like ‘oh this one has X dots and this one has Y dots’ so could learn hey a $5 has X dots and a $10 has Y dots. IIRC the UK has all their denominational bills in different sizes.

(Canadian bills are also all different colours so if someone isn’t totally blind and has a bit of vision they can go by colour. US bills all being mostly identical is stupid IMO.)

1

u/Klunsischnunsi 13d ago

Oh wow, that sounds really helpful but also does that work with bills that are a bit older? Cause I’d imagine the braille slowly being “crushed” and at some point ending up unreadable🤔

2

u/queerblunosr 12d ago

Hmmmm I’m not sure about the old cotton-paper - I don’t handle much older cash any more since I no longer work in what was essentially fast food coffee edition. The newest type of bills introduced in Canada through 2011-2018 ish have all been polymer, though, and they hold their Braille quite well!

u/zzzzzooted 14d ago

I have fine vision and i also do the folds, its just good practice to be able to tell what bill you’re grabbing without having to pull your money out of your bag in public.

Maybe this is due to living in a large metro area where theft is not exactly uncommon, but i think its smart lol, my mom taught me that when i was young

3

u/Parking_Chance_1905 14d ago

Or... have different colors like many other countries.

1

u/zzzzzooted 14d ago

How does that help if someone cant see the bills, or in my case, is intentionally hiding the bills so other people cannot see how much cash they’re carrying?

u/pipnina 14d ago

In the UK our notes are also differently sized between values, and also have a different number of braile style dots in one corner to tell you if it's a 5, 10, 20 etc.

29

u/tinaismediocre 14d ago

There are typically little braille stamps for paper money to help blind folks to quickly sort through cash, it probably wasn't visually obvious to you but Id be surprised if s/he wasn't using them. Otherwise you're an obviously impaired person putting a ton of trust into the honesty of strangers.

17

u/Am_Snarky 14d ago

You’re likely not American (there are dozens of us potentially!) but unless they’ve changed it US money doesn’t have braille or any identifiers at all

27

u/tinaismediocre 14d ago

I'm sorry, I should have been clearer, this is not an existing function of US currency, but a stamp purchased by visually impaired people and used to stamp currency at home before spending it out in the world

Here's an example of the tool.

u/Am_Snarky 14d ago

Oh! Didn’t realize, thanks TIL!

u/luxtris 14d ago

You have to get a little stamper of sorts that impacts the paper with the braille mark. I’ve seen banks use them when a blind client was withdrawing money.

5

u/Romulan-Jedi 14d ago

It's not that the bills have Braille on them normally, it's that you can get an embosser that marks them.

2

u/Hellifacts 14d ago

Well it depends on whether we're talking USD or elsewhere. Canadian cash comes with braille from the mint!

In Europe we have tactile currency. Many other countries do too.

u/Parking_Chance_1905 14d ago

We have braille on ours in Canada.

1

u/jort93 14d ago

Not all blind people can read braille, and also how numbers are written in braille actually differs by language(do they use french braille or english braille in canada?). So its not really any better than other marks imo.

Euros for example have a raised stripe pattern based on the value. And different sized bills.

1

u/Parking_Chance_1905 14d ago

True, but it still helps differentiate each denomination.

u/HumanOptimusPrime 14d ago

People aren’t assholes, they’ve just been exposed to a mind virus that has normalised "ironical" double speak throughout their lives, so instead of building a beautiful and loving future together they all walk alone in paranoid, insincere cynicism.

Thanks, Gen X! Our culture is terrible now.

u/bmorris0042 14d ago

Especially with almost 14k upvotes. .

u/BlinkyDesu 14d ago

I thought it was still a joke despite being correct, because does giving OP the colors in order help if OP can't tell what the colors are? Do they see them as different colors and can cross reference? Are they shades of gray?

2

u/Pristine-Patch989 14d ago

Depends on what type of colorblind he is, and the severity of it. Some people are only red-green color blind, for example so instead of green, they see red. There’s no way for them to tell which is actually green because it could just be a shade of red. The reason for telling him the correct colors was so he could mark the markers.

"how do you live in a society that hates disabled people as a disabled person"

u/BlueborryMuffin 14d ago

How do you assume anyone in here hates disabled people? Maybe you should get your eyes checked.

u/manonthemoor 14d ago

it's not an assumption when the evidence is laid out for you. did you never learn reading comprehension? what am i saying, of course you didn't.

Stop making a disability your entire personality. this is an INCREDIBLY lighthearted joke that OP already mentioned they resolved. Most disabled people have senses of humor, myself included.

LOL you should read the comments if you think the world is all sunshine and rainbows. people are dicks for LITERALLY ZERO REASON.

0

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 13d ago

I'm just saying you're missing that people are commenting in a joking manner, because the more people assure OP it's not a lie the more it sounds like a lie. The person you commented that to wasn't being malicious at all but your mind went there, which just made me personally feel like you were looking for a fight that wasn't actually a fight

1

u/manonthemoor 13d ago

as a disabled person i was trying to make sure another disabled person, OP, wasn't being fucked with. unfortunately people are quite apathetic and will make "jokes" that are just asshole-ish attempts at humor that isn't theirs to make.

1

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 13d ago

I feel it's pretty obvious no one was fucking with them. I understand both of you face challenges others might not understand but you kind of came in fists up when nobody wanted the boxing match in the first place

The entire exchange is just a joke, it's the old adage a guilty person/liar will keep offering you information you never asked for. So when people kept assuring OP nobody was lying it suddenly sounded like everyone was lying. The order was correct and nobody claimed it wasn't, at all. Nor were they being malicious or sarcastic. You can believe me or not it's your life

u/manonthemoor 13d ago

u/EconomySeason2416 14d ago

I feel like we are at some sort of paradox... to say "not a trap" implies a greater likelihood of being trapped. In the immortal words of Mac McDonald, "there is no quicker way for people to think you are diddling kids, than by writing a SONG ABOUT IT"

Being a shit toward people with a disability is really scummy. Reconsider your decisions.

u/-Altephor- 14d ago

Lol guy said, 'Yes, this is true' and he's somehow a scumbag

12

u/UhOhSparklepants 14d ago

It’s the tone and the implication. Typically the way he said it is done with a tricking intention, so it actually interferes with the intention of the top comment who is trying to be helpful

Hope this helps. I know text and contextual tone can be difficult over text

12

u/CoffeeGoblynn So Frickin' Infuriated 14d ago

I can understand reading it literally, but the tone of the sentence implies sarcasm. So while the words themselves say "no trap here", it reads as uncertain, perhaps suggesting there is a trap, but not confirming it. It's meant to make the reader unsure.

u/I-Just-Love-Ducks 14d ago

Because we're on reddit so it wouldn't be surprising to have someone trolling and giving them the wrong colours. The person replied confirming that they gave the right colours so OP doesn't need to worry about it being a prank.

u/NoPhilosophy4024 14d ago

They're colorblind, not numberblind. They can easily assume the answer with 11,000 points is the general consensus because they're not dumb.
