This, is nice to have this options. Here is my thoughts. I personally think
my self the government should make it currency accessible to the blind
people. I think they should make paper money in the dominations of 1$ bills,
5$ bills, 10 $ bills and 20 $ bills, accessible. These are the Most common
used denomination used by most people. It does not have to be nothing fancy.
Just accessible. I say accessible because there is a difference in
accessibility and usability. To me most of the change is accessible enough.
I also think they should just get rid of the penny. But I am speaking from a
consumer point of view on the penny. this is just some of my thoughts.
Thanks,

Orbit Research Introduces iBill Talking Banknote Identifier
Priced at $99, the iBill is a breakthrough in independent living for the
blind and visually impaired WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Orbit
Research today announced the introduction of the iBill, the world's first
affordable Talking Banknote Identifier for the blind and the visually
impaired.
Priced at $99, the 1.5 ounce, pager-sized iBill represents a breakthrough in
enabling the blind and the visually impaired community achieve independence
in the everyday necessity of using paper currency, which sighted people take
for granted. At about a third of the cost of existing devices, the iBill
offers unrivaled features, ease of use and accuracy of identification.
The iBill is an exceptionally convenient and affordable solution that can be
used by each and every blind or visually impaired individual.
Measuring just 3 inches by 1.6 inches by 0.7 inches, the ultra-slim and
compact "key-fob" design provides the ultimate in convenience, allowing it
to be carried unobtrusively in a pocket, purse, clipped to the belt or
attached to a keychain or lanyard. Among the features that set it apart from
other such devices are the extremely high accuracy (better than 99.9%) and
the near-instantaneous speed (less than one second in most cases) with which
it identifies banknotes.
The iBill is designed with the sole purpose of providing the simplest,
fastest and most accurate means to identify U.S. banknotes.
Its unique ergonomic design permits easy and intuitive use without the need
for any training or practice. Upon insertion of a banknote into the device,
its denomination is identified at the press of a button. Based on the user's
preference, the denomination is announced by a clear and natural voice, or
by tone or vibration for privacy.
The unit identifies all U.S. banknotes in circulation and recognizes them in
any orientation. Banknotes in poor physical condition are indicated as
unidentifiable and are not misread. The unit is also upgradeable to
recognize new banknote designs.
The iBill achieves all of this while operating on a single, commonly
available AAA battery which lasts for over a year with typical use.
Its durable construction and sealed design ensure trouble-free use.
The unit is backed by a one-year warranty from Orbit Research, and toll-free
customer support.
"Orbit Research has once again demonstrated its commitment to the
development of breakthrough technology and products that make a direct and
measurably positive impact to the daily lives of the community we serve,"
said Michael Nolan, President of Orbit Research.
Orbit Research has filed patents on the technologies employed in the iBill,
which enable its groundbreaking compactness, performance and features.
Samples of the iBill are available for evaluation now and Orbit Research is
accepting orders.
Specializing in the development and manufacture of products for people with
disabilities, Orbit Research's mission is to employ cutting-edge technology
to develop innovative and affordable products that are essential for an
independent and productive lifestyle.
