The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, along with the Library of Congress, provide a small, hand-held Currency Reader to people who are visually impaired. The program isn’t new, but with February being Low Vision Awareness Month in the US, they are reminding people of the availability of these free devices to those who need them. Read more about the program in their Press Release or visit the website directly at US Currency Reader. If you are experiencing vision loss, we have programs to help you adapt.
