Show me the money

This US State Department press releases extols the virtues of voice guided ATMs and their usefulness to the blind. Of course once blind people get banknotes from a hole-in-the-wall they are at the mercy of those surrounding them and we all know how that generally works out.

So what progress has this self-same American government made on making banknotes suitable for the blind since a court ordered them to about six months ago? Not a lot apparently although it seems that they are thinking of adding more colour.
