User impact:

Users with different disabilities employ assistive technology to adapt content according to their specific needs. For example, users who are blind (using a screen reader) benefit when information conveyed through color is also available in text (including text alternatives for images that use color to convey information), and users who are deaf-blind and use braille (text) refreshable displays may be unable to access color-dependent information.

Suggested resolution:

Explicitly include the currency unit (e.g., "dollars," "euros") in the field's accessibilityLabel.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!
