Emily's $5.00 System: A method for persons with a visual imprairment to more easily handle U.S. Currency ==================================================================== 1. When you go to the bank, request that your cash be returned to you in ONLY $5.00 bills. This way you only need 2 categories of currency in your wallet, billfold or purse. 2. The first category will be your Outgoing section. So if you need $10.00 or $20.00 you just count out the appropriate number of $5.00 bills to pay with. 3. ALL CHANGE will come back to you in One Dollar bills. So this is your second category which you can draw from as necessary, or else just deposit all the $1.00 bills back into your account at a later date. 4. All confusion with whether a bill is a $10.00, or a $20.00 bill is thereby avoided since you never start with anything higher than a $5.00
