Actually the newer US bills are different colors. Not bright solid different colors which one would differentiate in a dim barroom though. The new purple five dollar bill is the first one to have a GIGANTIC number on the back.

Different size bills make sense, too, I don't know how a blind person can tell the difference between different denominations in the USA.

Personally I'd love to see the dollar bill go the way of the dinosaur, mostly for the ease of use in machines (why many transit systems and post office machines dispense them as change).
