Well, in South Africa there is nothing which reads the bills. There is only a measuring stick to identify notes. However, with the Optacon it is very easy to read the bills. The denomination is printed at the top of the note in words and very easy to read.

I don't remember being able to do currency with the optacon, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. I just don't remember trying to make that happen.
