Hello Terry,

We thought you may find interesting an article published this Friday in the Wall Street Journal, which announced Britains newest tactile currency and reported on the U.S. Department of Treasurys continued failure to provide accessible currency in the United States.

You can access the article through the following link: https://www.wsj.com/articles/bank-of-englands-textured-bills-help-blind-people-tell-them-apart-11616772483.

ACBs own Executive Director Eric Bridges was quoted in the article, and we think it did an excellent job highlighting the issue we continue to struggle with in the U.S. as other countries move forward with recognizing the value in producing accessible currency for people who are blind and visually impaired. We hope you, too, will enjoy the article, and please share through your own social networks if possible.

Have a safe and wonderful spring weekend.

Team ACB
