In case you didn't know, the different sizes are to help out blind people. I've heard that US notes area all the same size? That must be a pain for anyone with poor vision.
- prawn 17y agoYes, and I can't recall how popular it is around the world, but our coins also have different etches/marks around the rim that allow similarly sized coins to be differentiated by the blind. (The 10c and $1 are roughly similar in size, just easily separated by weight and the pattern around the edge.)
- michaelcampbell 17y agoWait, what? What 10c and $1 pieces are similar in size in the US? Or did I misread?
- prawn 17y agoTalking about Australian coins.
- blahedo 17y agoYes and yes, although it's due to change in the next currency revision; our courts ruled that the same-size currency notes are a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act!
