It seems as though there would be a lot more jobs available if you could
tell what bill you were being handed.  Nobody will hire someone where the
exchange of money is involved if there is a chance that they could be
cheated.

We also seem to think that you can only pursue one thing at a time.  We can
still be helping people find jobs while lobbying to make money accessible.

I tend to agree with Tom and Chris on this one. I believe employment of
blind people is a more important issue to tackle. If you don't have a job,
you won't have much money to identify. I have wondered recently what our
priorities as a blind community really are. Sometimes It seems like
entertaining ourselves is more important than finding and holding down a
job.
