In addition to denominations of paper currency that are uniquely colored,
why not also have them uniquely sized or shaped?  Perhaps that would be
a help to blind people.  It might also reduce mistakes made by retailers.

	It may also INCREASE the number of mistakes made by the mint. :-)

	I'm surprised (aghast even), that noone has suggested using
wombats as currency.  Perhaps then, other similarly obfuscating species
(such as platypi) could be used for (a) change.
