"Of the more than 180 countries that issue paper currency, only the United States prints bills that are identical in size and color in all their denominations," Robertson wrote. "More than 100 of the other issuers vary their bills in size according to denomination, and every other issuer includes at least some features that help the visually impaired."

He said the government was violating the Rehabilitation Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in government programs. The opinion came after a four-year legal fight.

So I wonder, how soon will the bills be designed with the blind in mind?

I'm no expert but that doesn't make sense. It sounds like the judge was ordering what he thinks is the best policy, and he's not supposed to do that.
