A lot of the coins seen by the end of 2020 were brand new &#039;19 or &#039;20 issues.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Coins are much safer to use than bills because bills absorb moisture and germs making them an excellent vector for disease.&nbsp; Not only do most coins have some antimicrobial properties but they dry very quickly and the germs die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
