A sheet for the visually impaired having a monetary amount display portion on the surface of which a plurality of shaving-free projections are arranged in columns.

A third feature of the present invention is that the surface of a prepaid card is covered, and a burr-like projection can be projected around a punch hole punched by a punch operation for the amount of money used, and a face value concave convex display portion is provided. It is a prepaid card for the visually impaired, which is formed by coating the coating film.

A fourth feature of the present invention is that an adhesive coating surface of a back surface, which is exposed by peeling off a layered release paper, is configured to be freely attached to a front surface of a prepaid card and is also attached to the front surface of the prepaid card. However, it is a sheet for the visually impaired in which a burr-like projection can be freely projected around the punch hole punched by the punching operation for the amount of money spent, and has a face value monetary unevenness display portion on the surface.

[0008]

[Action]

 In this plan, by taking the above-mentioned means, a group of protrusions that can be crushed or scraped on the surface of the prepaid card is divided into digits, and a group of protrusions that can be crushed or scraped on the surface of the sticking sheet is digitized. It is provided separately or by covering the surface of the prepaid card with a film or sheet that forms a burr-like protrusion around the punch hole when the prepaid card is used, it is possible to project on the prepaid card or sheet by touch. Detecting the sudden occurrence, the remaining amount used and the face value of the prepaid card are discriminated and confirmed.
