Abstract
This essay aims to elaborate the technology when it comes to banknote making for visually impaired members of the society. The visually impaired are divided in three subgroups: color-blind, partially sighted and blind people. Their first needs are useful denomination features rather than security features, as they help them in determining a banknote’s value. This study provides a historical overview of banknote design features for the visually impaired. Furthermore, it looks into the methodology of banknote tests for the color-blind, showing images of how the color-blind experience the euro banknotes. Two features are needed for every subgroup of the visually impaired to establish the banknote’s value; one is not reliable. These two features are dedicated firstly to the relevant user group, but will also be used by others, including people with normal vision.

Summary
There is a tendency to forget that human beings who cannot lead a normal life, live among us. Those human beings have the difficulty to preform every day, seemingly simple tasks, among them recognizing banknotes. In this manner, it is a necessity that elements and features that can help visually impaired recognize and distinguish notes one from each other are included in the design and production of banknotes in all countries of the world. The brain records a vision, sound or touch in a split second, the research group, explored whether people with blindness would process the sense of touch more quickly. People with blindness who rely on an extraordinary degree of non-visual senses” [2]
