Government resists altering money for blind people

`The Bush administration on Tuesday asked a federal court to overturn a lower-court ruling requiring the federal government redesign the nation’s paper money to help blind people differentiate between denominations of bills. [..]

The government also said blind people can use credit and debit cards instead of cash.’
