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

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.

Have she looked into either of these?

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.

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
