The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld a ruling made by the District Court which stated that the Treasury Department’s failure to design paper currency that is readily distinguishable is discriminatory to the visually impaired. The court ruled against the Treasury Department partly because they failed to bring forward any reasoning as to why U.S. currency should be any different than other countries that do differentiate their currency for the visually impaired, and partly because U.S. currency is just plain boring.
