Uses
The current series of Canadian banknotes has a tactile feature consisting of raised dots that indicate the denomination, allowing bills to be easily identified by visually impaired people. It does not use standard braille; rather, the feature uses a system developed in consultation with blind and visually impaired Canadians after research indicated that braille was not sufficiently robust and that not all potential users read braille. Mexican bank notes, Indian Rupee notes, Israeli New Shekel notes and Russian Ruble notes also have special raised symbols to make them identifiable by the visually impaired.
In India there are instances where the parliament acts have been published in braille, such as 'The Right to Information Act'.
In the United States, the Americans with Disabilities Act requires various building signage to be in braille.
