The central bank of Turkey makes all notes and coins in different sies and provides a currency identifier free of cost to visually impaired. The guide is an intelligently designed piece of plastic which makes identification of both notes and coins very quick and simple. It has tactile, print and braille markings on it. The rupee checker i designed also contains feature for coin identification but this feature became useless once the government came out with coins of same size. Thankfully we still are maintaining the difference in sizes of notes and therefore rupee checker continues to be useful for identifying notes.

Re: [AI] most urgent
I got to see the wonderful best practice of Turkey in this context. The central bank of Turkey makes all notes and coins in different sies and provides a currency identifier free of cost to visually impaired. The guide is an intelligently designed piece of plastic which makes identification of both notes and coins very quick and simple. It has tactile, print and braille markings on it. The rupee checker i designed also contains feature for coin identification but this feature became useless once the government came out with coins of same size. Thankfully we still are maintaining the difference in sizes of notes and therefore rupee checker continues to be useful for identifying notes. Mobile apps or dedicated electronic devices are also welcome but in India not many will be able to own or maintain them. -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Kartik Sawhney Sent: 20 August 2014 09:30 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.

Re: [AI] most urgent
It would be good to investigate what developed countries are doing and also to check are there any international body having any such guidelines. On the other hand i think of the following: - different shaped of corners, round pointed, diagonal - different size, both length and breadth should differ. -color shades, we have it in our current notes but it is not consistent. This is useful for partially sighted, mentally challenged and illiterate. Lastly, how about including nfc tags? In addition if the tactile markup are damaged there currency Notre should not be allowed at all, there banks should be educated on this.

Re: [AI] most urgent
well about braille, Switzerland had in the past braille marking it notes, but they removed as as marks were fading soon. also for Euro currency notes, it was thought in the biggening, however due to security risk, the idea was dropd. so difrunt sizes and shapes is the best solution.

Re: [AI] most urgent
I think that identification of various sizes is very quicker than braille dots identification. We should adopt the method of accessibility which be quick. If we stand in front of any store, we won't feel more comfortable with braille than various sizes. I have a other suggestion in this regards. The indian government should develop a mobile apps for mobile users to identify currency notes. On 19/08/2014, Lilly wrote: > Why don't we ask for both? Size and Braille dots?

Re: [AI] most urgent
It’s an indeed important issue to be taken up. I do believe that there is a need to adopt both the measures side by side. The size variation and Braille inscriptions on the currency notes. Only size variation may not serve the purpose fully because every time one cannot have many kind of notes to be ascertain the sizes hence here the Braille signage would aptly serve the purpose.

Hi there, Glad to know about this meeting. Few years ago; I did interact with RBI governor who put me onto his concerned officer for issues dealing with accessible currency. I was told that accessible currency can be taken by Ministery of finance as their department are authorize to design and print coins. I am glad that concerned stakeholders are part of this meeting but a word of caution based on my past interactions; they are very relectent to specify timeline for implementation as according to them various stakeholders are consulted prior to implementation of any initiatives.

Re: [AI] most urgent
Dear All, Let us appreciate AICB Delhi for taking the much needed initiative on such an horrible issue and extend our best support during their campaigns. Urging the authorities to make a Braille mark on the notes is not at all a good idea as many of us[specially who lost their sight recently] do not know the Braille language. By keeping this thing in mind, I request you all to vote for making the coins/notes in a unique shape. To underline my thought, asking everyone for learning Braille is not practical and cannot work out in rural areas and elder people. Please let's hold our hands together and raise the best solution with a single voice.

Re: [AI] most urgent
Yeah, instead of braille, some tactile markings can be made on notes. These would be accessible to all persons, no matter if he/she is literate or not. For coins, the same thing can be followed along with difference in shape and size. Also, if it gets implemented, then all previous currency notes and coins should be slowly withdrawed from the market and replaced by new ones.

Re: [AI] most urgent
Marking on notes is very necessary but it is not necessary that the marking should be a braille numaric codes. We can have a single dot for rs 10, 2 dots for 20, 3 dots for 50, 4 dots for 100 5 dots for 500 and 6 dots for 1000. and the vide publicity can be given for these markings through mass media.

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...

[AI] most urgent
Dear Colleagues, We are happy to inform you that yet again, one of the initiatives taken by this Confederation for facilitating accessibility to persons with visual impairment, is receiving active attention from the concerned authorities. This initiative launched by us relates to enabling visually impaired persons to recognize with ease various currency notes and coins. We had moved the office of the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities for getting appropriate affirmative action in the matter. As a result, we have now received the good news that a meeting is being convened by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs under the Chairmanship of the Joint Secretary (C & C). The meeting will take place on 21st August, 2014 at 11.00 a.m. and will deliberate upon the following issues: i.Introduce Braille-like signs/blind marks in currency; and ii.Review of the shape and size of coins. It will be a great help if you would kindly let us have your suggestions/inputs on the above two issues by email so as to reach us by 11.00 a.m. on 20th August. While doing so, you should not forget a large number of illiterate blind persons living in rural as well as urban areas. Please send your comments to aicbde...@yahoo.com With Kind Regards J. L.

Absolutely. Unless people write to their presidents and prime ministers, how will things change? In fact, we do very little of this kind of lobbying when compared to the west.

We do realize that setting up of a full-fledged Ministry for Disability Affairs may not be possible right away. Therefore, the best option at the moment would be to implement the mandate already set out in the XIth Five Year Plan: the upgradation of the Disability Division of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, to a Department. We quote verbatim from the Planning Commission document: Clause 6.188: The ‘Disability Division’ of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment shall be strengthened with the status of a separate ‘Department’, so that they can effectively liaise with all the concerned Ministries/Departments and ensure that they fulfill their responsibility towards disabled persons, including the financial support enjoined on them. This gesture would send a strong message not only to India, but to the whole world, about your Government’s commitment to the cause of disability. We urge you to consider this demand favourably. With best wishes and prayers to you and your team, for your second term in office.
