Wondering why there is a giant purple Helvetica 5 on this bill, that doesn’t seem to match the style, colour scheme, or historical reference of the rest of the design? Well apparently it’s for people with low-vision.

Apparently someone forgot to tell the US treasury that taste does not have to be left at the door of accessibility.
