How have I never thought about how the blind community interacts with physical currency?!? Change in the U. S. seems fairly straightforward, but what about the various bills? How do they distinguish each value from the others, especially given the sheer amount of bills from various years in circulation? I’m absolutely falling down a rabbit hole with this one.

“‘Going blind’ has baked into it all the loneliness and isolation of that we associate with it. A much more accurate way to describe it is ‘becoming blind’. Blindness is much more an arrival than a departure”
