Can we talk about how wildly baffling it is that in 2026, I can unlock my phone with my face, order groceries from my couch, and have a robot vacuum silently judge my life choices… but I still can’t reliably tell U.S. paper money apart by touch?

Blind people have been out here folding bills like financial origami, using apps, asking strangers, or carrying extra devices just to know if we’re handing over a $5, $10, or $20.

That is not independence. That is a workaround wearing a government-issued trench coat.

And now we’re finally getting a raised tactile feature… on the redesigned $10 bill.

Just the $10.

Thank you for inviting accessibility to the currency party, but why is she entering one bill at a time through the side door?

Blind people don’t only use tens. We use ones, fives, tens, twenties, fifties — all of it. Accessible currency should not be sprinkled onto one denomination like a tiny compliance garnish.

Progress? Yes.
Baffling? Absolutely.

Our money should make sense for everyone who uses it. 💸

Join ACB in advocating for vision services for young children! Two bipartisan House bills—the Early Detection of Vision Impairments for Children (EDVI) Act and See the Board Act—would direct funding to diagnose, treat, and serve children with vision loss. The early detection will enable children to receive treatment or school services needed to address their disability. In doing so, it will allow the children to be more successful in the long run.

The EDVI Act picked up eight new cosponsors this month! Help us keep the momentum on this bill by contacting your representatives. Click here to send a message:

Presented by Wolfe Family Foundation and Robert J. Weiler Family Fund, the 2026 Concert for Humanity is a night built around powerful music and the people behind it.

Zayne will be part of this year’s chorus, joining a group of artists brought together through our partnership with Music Columbus. After picking up the guitar as a teenager, he found his footing through local jam sessions—developing a style that’s earned recognition across the region, including a win with his band, Blue Spectrum, at the Columbus Blues Alliance Blues Band Challenge.

At Concert for Humanity, he contributes to a collective sound on stage—where each performer plays a role in something bigger.

Tickets are going fast. Don’t miss it. Columbus Commons

The Alliance on Aging and Vision Loss (AAVL), an ACB special interest affiliate, invites you to an important webinar on Monday, April 27, at 5:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. PT.

Older adults who are blind or have low vision face the same risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia as anyone else, but traditional diagnostic tools often rely on vision and can fall short. This session will highlight emerging, non-visual approaches that aim to make diagnosis more accessible.

Join Dr. Stephen Correia and Holly Fleischmann, M.S., as they share their work on developing non-visual protocols for diagnosing dementia.

To receive the Zoom information, email advocacy@aavl-blind-seniors.org by Friday, April 24.

Please share with colleagues, family members, and anyone who may benefit from this webinar.
