Oh, I absolutely agree, Pat.

I have heard that other countries have developed ways to tactally label
currency, but don't know specifics.

Perhaps this would be an interesting research project for someone someday.

Identifiers

Tom,
How to do it?  Unfortunately not all of us are Braille readers.  Different
denominational sizes could work but until you got comfortable with them,
you'd almost have to have all sizes availacle to compare!  Some other
tactile identifier, other than Braille might well be the answer.  However
the Bureau of Engraving is to be congratulated for this solution.
