[Tektalkdiscussion] Fw: ABC SHOW Conducts Social Experiment byHaving Store Clerk Shortchange Blind Person

[Mark Blier]

Hi, All,

I still say that a small, programmable, money identifier would do the trick.  Programmable, because, if the currency changes, the data lookups in the money identifier would also have to be amended with the new changes so that the older and newer currency can be identified.  Just plug it in to your EtherNet connection, wait for the beep to say that it is done, and umplug -- you're done.

To carry on about making our currency of different sizes just sounds ludicrous, not to mention the astronomical expense of revamping the entire money infrastructure just to satisfy roughly one-third of one percent of the country's population.  But, watch, instead of doing it more economically with the talking money identifiers, over-emotional consumers will whine and cry to their politician representatives, some stupid edict or law will get passed down to all businesses, the currency will be resized, and the debt of this enormous undertaking will take fifty years to pay back.  Sometimes, the absurdity is just too much.
