I understand about making the number big for the vision-impaired.

But the big purple "5" on the back of the new $5 bill is taking things a bit far, don't you think?

Huh. Our experiences differ. (Mine are limited, but I've never found this inconvenient when I've used foreign currency.)

I keep the bills in my wallet sorted anyway-- if you sort different size bills in ascending order, it shouldn't be particularly difficult. And you can get subdivided wallets for even easier functioning. I suppose an unsorted money clip would become a total pain, but I suspect that that's inherent to choosing to use an unsorted money clip.

Still, it's useful to know that some people disagree on this one. I had thought of the multi-size solution as a no-brainer, opposed only by inertia.
