<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1413428, member: 27832&quot;]You&#039;re right, of course. Coins are among the <i>filthiest</i> things you&#039;ll ever encounter. They&#039;re the most dangerously contaminated items you&#039;ll ever have to handle in your day-to-day life.</p><p><br /></p><p>...except, of course, paper money.</p><p><br /></p><p>And door handles in public buildings.</p><p><br /></p><p>And grocery carts.</p><p><br /></p><p>And gas pump handles.</p><p><br /></p><p>And any surface in any sort of public transit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and let&#039;s not forget perhaps the most disgusting, grime-accumulating, nearly-impossible-to-clean item, one that you&#039;re probably TOUCHING RIGHT NOW: the <b>computer keyboard</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>My best advice: remove your hands from the keyboard, <b>NOW</b>, and carefully back away from it. Touching it simply isn&#039;t worth the risk!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>All kidding aside, our immune systems have evolved (or been designed, your choice) to fight off exactly the kinds of threats that you&#039;re worrying about. Between our immune systems, and the miracle of judicious hand-washing, we&#039;re actually in a <i>great</i> position to fight off most of the things we encounter on a daily basis, even the ones riding on coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
