Quite the opposite. As a fully abled person I find it incredibly annoying to have to flip through US notes instead of just immediately picking out the right one by size and/or color. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Or put another way: "Deliberately griefing the experience of a small number of people just to make it marginally more convenient for everyone else." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
