Malaysian money has braille and the size of each money value is made different so that the blind people know the value. not only that, the texture of each money is also made different to make it easier for the blind.
I always remember that scene in “Ray”. As Ray travels on the road, he demands to be paid in single dollar bills so no one can cheat him (since he cannot see the paper notes of the cash). I think cash should already have braille on them when they are made.
A local shop owner around here is blind, when people hand him 1 dollar bills and tell him its a 20, they get kicked out. Never underestimate a blind person, they live in the dark, so they see EVERYTHING.

Polish banknotes (polski złoty) have relief printing on it (shapes like square or circle), but it goes flat with time so... But for example euro banknotes have different sizes, escalating to value
In australia we do not have braille on our nots but instead we just have a different number of raised bumps to tell you which note you are holding, it works sort of similar to braille but is much faster to read.
I find it strange that a modern nation like the US doesn’t already print braille on their notes as standard instead of expecting a blind person to pay extra for devices to do it themselves
Especially since theres even braile in my local middle school on every door. How do we have the money for that but not the money for money? Honestly this country is broke💀
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.

Here in Europe, bills have slightly different sizes so blind people can notice. Also coins have small indentations on the edges, so they can be easily identified.

This is stupid, government should have already taken care of this. Damaging currency notes is not a good idea. Many countries have already made their currency notes useful for blind people.
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
Yes this would be a neat feature to have on US currency and yet another way to curb counterfeiting. I wonder if it has ever been suggested to the US Treasury Department
In Brazil they simple make money diferent sizes. They are also diferent colors so people that don't know how to read, have bad eye sign or children can identify it better and simple helps everybody. (I teach this one time to a blind elderly man )
It does but it’s hard to tell the difference between certain notes (£10vs£5) I’m pretty sure it has braille though? Lemme check 😂 Edit: Yh we have braille for notes £10 and above. Not £5 though.
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.
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. 😁👍
I remember going to court years ago for a ticket and stopped in the store that was in the lobby. Much to my surprise, the cashier was blind. He had some device like this that he'd put the bills in and it would tell him the denomination.

Every blind person I’ve met just feels the difference between each bill, and according to my dad, $50 bills smell different
50's and up is where you start smelling the coke.

I never gave that a second thought…brilliant.
All UK money ia marked with braille
Lol that bill reader voice makes me laugh 😂
I always remember that scene in “Ray”. As Ray travels on the road, he demands to be paid in single dollar bills so no one can cheat him (since he cannot see the paper notes of the cash). I think cash should already have braille on them when they are made.
100% agree
Canadian bills have braille on them, I think Euros do too
Depends on the country. Some countries have bill size difference. Some do add braille.
Also bills should be different Size
@@hq3473 no
A local shop owner around here is blind, when people hand him 1 dollar bills and tell him its a 20, they get kicked out. Never underestimate a blind person, they live in the dark, so they see EVERYTHING.
Is this a witchcraft?
Man I support that dude
What if they came and took the thing without paying … i mean no one saw that … appreciate atleast they paid 1 dollar
@@RivkaranGrewal what if they killed him and stole all his cash. At least they paid 1$ so they're better than a total thief and murder right? But they're still an asshole and the blind person can hear them enter. You can probably get away with stealing something but then again he could have someone checking the tapes every day
@@hugo57k91 haha bro i am just joking
This is great. You add links to the products.
In Nepal, our notes have brail markings, and the size and colour of currency are different to help with vision issues
I sent my blind friend this link, thank you 🙏
Nice, I told my deaf friend about you!

Cant wait until they *see* it
In the UK, paper money already has braille on it and each denomination is in different sizes to assist those who have visual impairments. This is also the same for many other countries.
Where? I just felt a couple of notes and they're both smooth
@@baraitalo along the left edge as you look at the queen's side. its also one of the things to check for security. if your notes (the new plastic ones, paper ones are no longer legal tender) are missing the braille, they are fake
@@MalcolmCooks aaaah i had to go and look it up! the 10s, 20s, 50s, have different patterns of dots in squares, and the 5s haven't. it's not actually braille though. thanks for info i'd never have noticed otherwise!
You have the best username 👍🏼 generally my usual state.
and also different colours too. So even with blurry asf vision you can see which one it is lmao
"Sir, sorry your money is fake"
In Russia, the Braille code is immediately applied to all banknotes.😊
That is interesting because in the UK all our notes have braille already added.
There all different sizes as well
Pretty sure you go to jail here in Australia if you tried to start popping holes in banknotes.. and yes our new notes come built in braille
Ditto Canada! Come on, US, join us in the 21st century!
Literally every currency has braille added. But of course the US wants to be different... "the country of freedom"
Yup comes free with your government issued dueling sword
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
It’s the same in Canada too
India too
It's practically just America that died
Rushed to the comment to look for the Malaysian comment and wasn't disappointed
Polish banknotes (polski złoty) have relief printing on it (shapes like square or circle), but it goes flat with time so...
But for example euro banknotes have different sizes, escalating to value
This is really spectacular!
In australia we do not have braille on our nots but instead we just have a different number of raised bumps to tell you which note you are holding, it works sort of similar to braille but is much faster to read.
I find it strange that a modern nation like the US doesn’t already print braille on their notes as standard instead of expecting a blind person to pay extra for devices to do it themselves
Especially since theres even braile in my local middle school on every door. How do we have the money for that but not the money for money? Honestly this country is broke💀
Blind people do not exist. They’re faking it.
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.
Yeah they already come with it in the Uk
@@domenik8339 that’s why it’s so strange people risk their lives illegally crossing borders to live here right? They just just go back to their war torn shitholes, it’s better than the US! /s
In the UK, each note already has braille and are categorised by size (the smallest note, the £5, is the smallest size going up to £50 which is the largest)
The United States is supposed to be changing the money for the blind. It's long overdue. I am going to buy one of those braille money markers and imprint all of the cash I use. I know it sounds crazy but I always worry about visually impaired people being taken advantage of.
Coins are also easily distinguished and identifiable - diameter, shape, thickness, edge milling.
It's not braille. Each denomination has a different number of clusters of raised dots.
How about the one pound note?
@@simpan197 We dont have a £1 note. stoped beeing used in 1988s an is nolonger legal tender. We use a £1 coin. I think Scotland still has a £1 note but I've never seen one so duno if it has braille on it
Civilized countries just have braille on their bills by default
In australia not only are all the notes different sizes.... there is already braile dots on them
Here in Europe, bills have slightly different sizes so blind people can notice.
Also coins have small indentations on the edges, so they can be easily identified.
OH IS THAT WHY
@@konstant_ly no, the reason coins have edging is because back in the day when coins were made of precious metals people would shave them for flakes of the metal, the ridges ensure you can tell if someone has done this. Now it’s mostly for the blind though
In Poland, bills also have specific geometric shapes that can be felt with fingers
In countries such as the UK, Canada and Australia, they already have Braille on them.
Do you need $1000 PayPal gift card?
Before actually processing what he said i thought that little black box was gonna shred the money😅
me too...
😱😱
"This is a short demo of how somebody can tell what bill they have, and then mark it with braille."
"they don't get money."
Meanwhile canadians: wait.. yours don't come with braille?
I think this is amazing!!!❤❤❤
cant believe they dont already have it this day and age
In Europe, the notes are growing bigger the higher the value is.
Real
Not 100% Sure but i think they got Lines on them that you can feel.
in Brazil too...
and they have lines on the side. the number of gaps indicates the value
also has braille-esque feature on the edge so you can feel what you're holding
All bills should use braille bumps as both a tool for the blind and a counterfeit security measure.
In Canada they have braille made into it
Here in Canada our money is printed with braille already on it 😊
That is why here in Europe, all the bills and coins are of different sizes.
Yh but braille is easier to recognize
Who are you showboating for? Instead of bragging, you should just be grateful we allow your little puppet state to exist.
@@nae_eoneobro they're literally smaller size=smaller amount that's way more recognizable for someone blind, just imagine they don't know braille duh
Sounds socialist. Why should the government waste money on this? 🇺🇸🦅
New Australian money: I HAVE NO SUCH WEAKNESS
Yes! It's good that old AUD also had different colours and sizes as well. Adding the tactile markers is great!
I've just came back from a trip overseas and I'll never take Australian's colourful notes for granted anymore. The distinct colours of each note makes it so so easy to pull out the right one from the wallet
My favourite part of being Australian is the money; not only did we invent the polymer note, but we basically led innovation in cash security, fraud detection, accessibility, etc.
It's also beautiful and contains a lot of important historical and cultural references.
Yes u monkeys use plastic
@@andregrubert1560 quite an astute observation and pray tell how exactly did you come to this thrilling observation and the purpose there in of pointing it out.
This deserves all the awards.
Very insightful!
Fun Fact: Canadian Bills have braille already on them.
Edit: Wow, looking at all the replies it’s like pretty much every country has braille on their bills BUT the United States lmao
Another (of many) reason why Canada is much better than Murica
fun fact: the Canadian president is a wuss who lets his wife peg him
And with Sweden the money is in different size depending on how much it is
Pretty sure the British note does aswell, I use card tho
So do Australian notes
“This device you can tell what bill you have”
“Money”
Who would’ve thought
20 lol 😂
Hi kiddo
Do you know Bill in this video is considered as money
"No need to thank me."
Twenty*
In the uk we have brail and different size notes
I just searched broken claw machine and then this popped up 💀
Currency should already have braille on it. ✨️
That ain’t gonna work when I replace all their bills with peanut butter coupons
peanut butter coupons???💀💀💀
I'll take those coupons thankyou
I mean I guess you’re not wrong
Keep doing what you're doing, it's working!
this can definitely help with blind ppl
You know, I think I've actually had a bill with braille on it? Cool to know where it came from, and it was once in the hands of someone who needed it.
everyone needs money wtf
@@AdamNisenziSpisak They mean a blind person needed the bill with braille on it. Are you slow?
@@AdamNisenziSpisak lmao

@@heartsforluci4 lmfaooo haahhha this had me rollin
I'm from germany and Euro bills can be distinguished by their size. Our coins have different brail-like markings at the side.
Blind person: how to buy a bill marker?
This is stupid, government should have already taken care of this. Damaging currency notes is not a good idea. Many countries have already made their currency notes useful for blind people.
I know right! We've recently changed our currency up in South Africa to be more accommodating towards our blind citizens.
I'd be strugglin just to get the bill in the reader if I was blind 💀
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.
Yes this would be a neat feature to have on US currency and yet another way to curb counterfeiting.
I wonder if it has ever been suggested to the US Treasury Department
Our bills are made of Polymer instead of paper.
How would it be hard to put braille on fake bills?
Same in UK plus different sizes and colours
This is so awesome!
In Australia, our new Bank notes actually have braille on them
In Brazil they simple make money diferent sizes.
They are also diferent colors so people that don't know how to read, have bad eye sign or children can identify it better and simple helps everybody.
(I teach this one time to a blind elderly man )
I’m sure here in the uk the notes are all different sizes so the blind know the difference , I’m going to check now in case I’m wrong 😂
Yo did you check?
It does but it’s hard to tell the difference between certain notes (£10vs£5) I’m pretty sure it has braille though? Lemme check 😂
Edit: Yh we have braille for notes £10 and above. Not £5 though.
They have braile on the NEW polymer notes, but it didnt exist before those on paper ones
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
the picture on the usda is raised so is the amount
Thank you sir for the knowledge 🎉❤😊
You'd think the fed could do this at the printing factory 😅
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.
*Great to know this wholesome story...*
If only the denominations weren’t all the same size, then he could have made a tray with different size compartments for the denominations.
A lot of countries just have braille pressed into their banknotes by default so you don't need a device.
A lot of countries also believe Healthcare amd women's rights isn't optional.
@@SatanRomps YOU'RE SPITTIN' facts dawg
@@SatanRomps In the USA healthcare, college, and women's bodily autonomy are considered satanic marxism.
@@SatanRomps like the US, proving a point you didn’t want to prove lol
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. 😁👍
Very cool. Did not know this was available.
I remember going to court years ago for a ticket and stopped in the store that was in the lobby. Much to my surprise, the cashier was blind. He had some device like this that he'd put the bills in and it would tell him the denomination.
