Judge rules paper money unfair to blind

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the U.S. Treasury
Department is violating the law by keeping all paper money the same size
and feel, preventing blind people from distinguishing the amount.

U.S. District Court Judge James Robertson, in a ruling on a suit by the
American Council of the Blind, ordered the feds to come up with a way to
tell bills apart.

The judge wrote that the current configuration of paper money violates
the Rehabilitation Act's guarantee of "meaningful access." (Posted 5:20
