Answer 1

They have money identifiers for the blind

Also the new 20 is supposed to have a feature that allows the blind to feel directly what it is but I don't know the details.

Answer 2

That is a really good question. I have no idea.

Answer 3

BY THE SIZE OF THE MONEY

£5 is the smallest

50 is the largest

they also feel the texuture..

it that hard actually

i want to know how they train the guide dogs!

Answer 4

They have a device that tells them what the bill is.

Some people have suggested that we put braille on money and make them different sizes and personally I think that's a great idea.

Not only would it make life easier for the blind but it would make them harder to counterfeit.

Answer 5

from what i know, they have a great sense of touch, so they understand the dimensions of different notes, thus figure out what they have in their hands. the coins are simple as the numbers are embossed so clear to discern...... :)
