[NFBofSC] Accessible Currency Update

[Steve Cook]

Hi All, 

 

I know this is from the ACB, but this also effects us as well. That is why I
am sharing here!

 

We recently received a semiannual update from the Bureau of Printing and
Engraving (BEP) regarding their progress implementing the Court's order from
ACB's currency accessibility lawsuit of 2008. The BEP is on track to print
the new $10 bill with the accessible Raised Tactile Feature in 2026.
Additionally, they have distributed more than 100,000 currency readers and
have two mobile apps (Eye NoteR for Apple users and IDEAL Currency
Identifier for Android users) that also function as currency readers. ACB
looks forward to the production of the accessible $10 bill.

 

Sincerely,
