To me a good place to stop would be making the notes a different size. It just seems strange that all our coins are different, but all our notes are the same.

"Is there a real problem with people ripping off blind folks?" - down here I'd bet yes. I've had the "no you only gave me a 10" game played on me a lot of times. The thing is when they hand over what they know is a 20 for a $5 purchase how do they know the 3 notes they get back are 5's and not 1's. They can tell the coinage for sure. What are they to do if they think they're getting ripped off? Ask the clerk if they are honest? Call the police?

Cobrabill - could not agree with you more about "Lawyers,the media,PETA & tree-huggers being more of a threat to this country than bin laden will ever be.

Therein lies the root causes of our symptomatic problems.
