===Vertical orientation===
Vertical currency is a type of [[currency]] in which the orientation has been changed from the conventional horizontal orientation to a vertical orientation. Dowling Duncan, a self-touted multidisciplinary design studio, conducted a study in which they determined people tend to handle and deal with money vertically rather than horizontally, especially when the currency is processed through [[Automated Teller Machine|ATM]] and other [[Money changer#Mechanical device|money machine]]s. They also note how money transactions are conducted vertically, not horizontally.<ref>{{cite web |date=14 August 2010 |url=http://dowlingduncan.com/2010/dowling-duncan-redesign-us-bank-notes/ |website=Dowling &#124; Duncan |title=Dowling Duncan redesign the US banknotes |access-date=2012-08-15 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110423032115/http://dowlingduncan.com/2010/dowling-duncan-redesign-us-bank-notes/ |archive-date=2011-04-23}}</ref> [[Bermuda dollar|Bermuda]], [[Cape Verdean escudo|Cape Verde]], the [[Eastern Caribbean dollar|Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States]], [[Swiss franc|Switzerland]], and [[Venezuelan bolívar|Venezuela]] have adopted vertically oriented currency, though Cape Verde has now reverted to horizontal orientation.
