It would've been cheaper to hire them someone to count their money for them individually. Seriously, it would've been cheaper to at least by them that identifyer machine.

descriminate does not imply intention to do so...as in this case it just implies what is...and that's a currency that places a group of people at a disadvantage to others.
I don't think that blind people would like to be marginalized by their disadvantage by saying since there isn't a large enough number (tens of thousands) of them that they don't matter.
and here's the thing and why it matters....how do they know how much money they are getting( or spending)...even if you hired somebody?
and I'm not familiar with the "doodad" that counts it for them....
oh and it was an appeals court that ruled it...not the supreme court...right?
