Because nobody makes "drive through bank atms". They just make "bank atms" - which all have braille - and then some banks install them outside

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

If you are partially sighted, I understand how you can use braille buttons to enter your info, but if you can't see well enough to make out the screen, how do you get money out?
Or to ATMs in the USA not have screens, and work on a different system?

Because if there wasn't braille on the keypad, blind people wouldn't be able to read the numbers.

And if blind people couldn't read the numbers, they wouldn't bother driving their car to the drive-through atm.

What I want to know is forget driving even if a blind person walked up to an atm how would they know the amount they with drew was in the proper bills like not 1's instead of 20's and that it was the right amount? That must be a major pain in the ass being blind.
