Subject: Re: [AI] most urgent Shape and size of coins should be distinct for coins of one, two, five and ten to distinguish them tactually, as was the case in twentieh century. Similarly size of notes can also be varied a bit more than at present in length/breath instead of introducing so-called blind marks...
