Health Reminder: Paper Money Is Dirty And Germ-Ridden
Can you just imagine what gets on money? It is a given that people often touch and scratch themselves and other "things" before they handle paper money. Its not a good idea to touch money and then touch your face without washing your hands first. For all you know, (DELETED FOR REFERENCE TO A BODILY FUNCTION).

4. Don't know about the paper money but coins tested for this very problem
not long ago and it was surprisingly clean. Wouldn't wanna suck on a quarter though.

5. Money is dirty and will make you sick
but I'll happily take the nasty stuff off your hands anyhow. That's just the kind of self-sacrificing person I am. ;)

6. That is big of you
I'll scour the house for the loose thousand dollar bills floating around and let you know when I have a 30 gallon trash bag full to give you. :pals:

7. Thanks for reminding me... I handle thousands of bills everyday...
and it is disgusting how dirty it is. We keep lots of Lysol and hand sanitizer around, and I don't touch my face until I have thouroughly washed them. Coins aren't any cleaner! *yuck!*

9. This is so true
using surgical gloves, place all of your filthy money in a sterile envelope
and send it to ME. I'll have it dry cleaned for you and return the change.
PM me for address and free postage.

13. yep, I have a friend who used to be a stripper, at private bachelor
parties too, so those bills have been down the guests pants as well as the strippers pants and often end up with beer and whipped cream essence added. I have never looked at paper money the same again (even coins, some girls would pick up a quarter-or nickel, or even dime) with a certain area of their bodies, ahem.
