This issue has been out on
different list the NFB has been
against this since it was filed as
a case , in that they said that
the blind did not need a way to
read money, to use a money
identifier or a debit card. At
then the end they did an 360
degree turn and than supported
this issue. go and look at the ace
and nfb sites and read up on this
issue.
