Recently, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving in the United States came up with an app called EyeNote that allows the user to place the note in any configuration, and reads out the denomination. Apparently, there is another technology called LookTell money reader. While I realize that these cannot be the only solutions as they will be restricted to a few people, technological solutions such as these could supplement other suggested solutions such as notes with different sizes and shapes of edges.
