I have found the currency notes of Australia most accessible. The salient features that struck me are
1. The denominations written in large print without any stylised type style 2. Significant difference in size 3. Significant difference in texture In addition, there is no need for Mahathma Gandhi to be on all denominations. We can have different National Icons on different denominations These are just a few off the bat responses. Sorry for this delay in writing.

As we all know, RBI has incorporated a slightly embossed triangle on the top of 100 Rupee note and a circle on 500 Rupee note.This triangle or circle can be felt on new currency notes of respective denomination. I invite your valuable suggestions to make currency notes more accessible or identifiable for VIs. What precisely can be done to make currency notes easily identifiable, is there any country which has taken a lead in this area, What is the experience of VIs there, Etc.
