But accuracy matters. They aren’t Braille—they are highly engineered "tactile marks.” Swipe through to see how the code actually works, why these design choices matter, and why we @twoblindbrothers build the same way.

Slide 1 reads: “Designed to be felt, not just seen. The European Central Bank just revealed its shortlist for the next euro banknotes and accessibility is part of the pitch.” Slide 2 clarifies that the raised banknote patterns are officially called “tactile marks,” not Braille. Slide 3 explains the European Blind Union's design consultation with the ECB since the 1990s. Slide 4 details how the tactile system works using edge line breaks (none, one, or two) paired with physical note sizes. Slide 5 emphasizes why this matters, noting that subtle or misplaced lines make notes unidentifiable, marking this as the first full design update since 2002. Slide 6 connects this banknote philosophy to Two Blind Brothers' approach to creating accessible clothing. Slide 7 concludes with a call to action reading: “Engineered for touch. Made for everyone.
