So ruled a federal court of appeals today on a suit brought before the court by The American Council for the Blind.
Actually, most of the headlines rede (incorrectly) that "paper money discriminates against blind people." Money - paper or otherwise - is an inanimate object, and doesn't have any cognitive reasoning abilities what so ever.
Most probably, the headline writers meant that the act, by the people at the treasury dept., of printing paper money using current methods discriminates against blind people. 
The American Council for the Blind sued to force the Treasury Dept. to alter paper money, either in size; shape; or texture, to make it more 'friendly' to the blind.
I wonder how many millions of vending machines would have to be retro-fitted, and at what cost? And did the judges also hand down their ruling in braille? So not to discriminate.
Moving on...
Officials at the Treasury Department and the department's Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which prints the nation's currency, had no immediate comment on the ruling. The government could appeal to the Supreme Court.
I know I'll get burned at the politically correct stake for this, but enough already!
Life's not fair, and sometimes life deals you a raw hand. I'm sorry! But the rest of the world does not owe you special coerced consideration for your particular handicap. Kindness, generosity, and charity are one thing. But the force of law has nothing to do with those qualities.
The ADA is being used as a tool of fascism to force web sites to accommodate blind people; list servers to screen against potential discriminatory practices of their subscribers; force businesses to close; and now, the government is being sued to provide special accommodations for three tenths of one percent of the U.S. population.
Enough already! Life's tuff. It's called a 'handicap' for a reason. You'll just have to deal with it.
