Federal law dictates that ATMs have braille on them, which makes perfect sense. Since the button-makers already have to make buttons with braille, it would cost them more money to set the machines up to make them without braille and then monitor how many are being made and make sure they're going to the right place. So they just make them all with braille. Simplicity, I love it. I’ll give that answer away. Federal law dictates that ATMs have braille on them, which makes perfect sense.

I mean, really, why *do* drive up ATMs have braille? I'll have to pick this one up at the library--thanks for the recommendation. I loved Freakonomics, so you’ve piqued my curiosity.
