Australian bank notes are the most advanced in the world. They are made of polymer plastic, have holograms of wildlife, the extremely fine lines all match up perfectly when rolled into a cigar-like tube, they have clear sections and opaque sections, and ALL are marked with braille to tell their denominations. There are other countries that have similar qualities, but you will find that these notes are made in Australia.

[@YTDumpsterBaby]

UK notes also have all these. Polymer plastic. Holographic that when you shine a laser into it projects an image Clear space Braille Fine intricate patterns. Images within images. These are made in the UK. Australia pioneered the technology tho. Personally i hate the notes cause they stick together when damp or wet and you could end up handing over more money than you intended. Secondly when they're try they easily blow away or slip out of your pocket.

I had a family member who was blind from diabetes and he always had a lot of money on him and he never gave me a wrong bill.... He would rub the corner and know instantly, even if you mixed the money up he could tell if it was flipped or backwards and he would straighten all the bills by himself in like 1 minute... It was crazy but also very impressive. 😁👍

[@yukkir_bolt_strike718]

I’m not blind, but I’m planning on getting one of the braille markers for all my cash. You never know where that 5 dollars is going. I’d love to help others, even if I don’t need to.

I used to work I.T. in a small local credit union. When I would get bored, I'd sit with the tellers and punch all the bills in the till with the Braille marker. It was a little good deed, and made my downtime actually useful.

[@fathimamardiah5124]

In Malaysia, the money was braille ready. I never realised that until one of my friends that are half blind told me how she checked her money balance by feeling the dots on the bill. I'm quite thankful my country really thinks about the disabled people and making their daily life easier

[@domenik8339]

Never let anyone fool you that the US is a modern nation. We don't have safe drinking water almsot anywhere in the country, even with lower standards than most other modern countries. Our federally mandated minimum wage is more than 150% below the poverty level (and it is legal for an employer to pay even lower in certain circumstances.) Our medical care has been in constant decline for the last 10 years or so and has never been more expensive. Most Americans cannot afford healthcare and don't recieve it unless it's a life or death scenario. Most Americans are in thousands and thousands of debt, despite not being able to afford a home or car payment. Never let anyone fool you this is a nice place to live. It's all fake Hollywood bullshit.

In Canada the "paper" bills (I don't think it's actually paper) just come with braille on them. It's actually a decent way to see if your money is legit because it's hard to fake well

Polymer.

They have tactile features on the new polymer notes. Nothing on the £5 4 dots in a square on the £10 2x 4 dot squares on the £20 Not actually seen a new £50 since nobody uses them so I don't know

I recall a story about a blind man who had a newsstand in an office building. He put people on their honor to tell him how much they paid, and was asked once how much he lost from people misleading him. He said it actually worked the other way, and there were often $5 bills in his singles tray. This was back in a prior century.
