<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CheetahCats, post: 868806, member: 23874&quot;]Clinker - Thanks very much for the research and the info provided.&nbsp; I hadn&#039;t given any thought to the topic and had no idea such tokens/coinage existed for leprosy colonies/institutions.&nbsp; Now I&#039;m wondering if there are any other tokens/coinages that were produced for other similarly ostracized groups of people.</p><p><br /></p><p>Per ksparrow&#039;s contribution, I also did a little digging before I saw his post too.&nbsp; Here is some information from the World Health Organization (WHO).&nbsp; They have a bunch of pages with info about the disease. WHO reports that the exact method of transmission is not known.&nbsp; Therefore, it could indeed be contagious.&nbsp; See link: <a href="http://www.who.int/lep/transmission/en/index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.who.int/lep/transmission/en/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.who.int/lep/transmission/en/index.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
