Emily Falconer considers American Council of the Blind v. Paulson, a recent D.C. Circuit decision in which the court agreed that the current design of U.S. currency discriminates against the blind, thus violating the terms of § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.  Falconer argues that there is an even more powerful, constitutional basis for demanding the redesign of U.S. currency.  Falconer argues that future litigation over U.S. currency should be resolved under the Due Process Clause.
