Dear Kanchan,
The need for making easily identifiable markings on currency notes is a need of the day and I appreciate your efforts in that direction. You and the other members involved in making currency notes easily accessible to VH are doing a yeoman's job and deserve the praise of every member of this group. Moving to the question of which identifiable markings to use on currency notes, I wish to make the following points. 1. The solution proposed has to be feasible. By feasible, I mean that it should be practicable and lasting. It is for this reason that I am not in favour of Braille markings. These markings are likely to become disfigured due to constant use. Further, sometimes we receive notes in a very soiled condition and in such motes, the Braille markings would not be detectable. 2. I am in favour of the proposal of having various types of cuts on currency notes in order to enable easy detection by the blind. The blind can feel around the edges of the currency notes and easily identify the value. 3. We could have the following system of cuts on currency notes. A single cut on both sides lengthwise on one side of a Rs. 1,000 note, a single cut breadth wise on one side of a Rs. 500 note, a single cut on all four sides of a Rs. 10 note and so on. This system of cuts will be hard to duplicate and will offer a level of security to VH. The opinion expressed above are my own and I am interested to know the opinions of the other group members on the same.
