<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quick dog, post: 101429, member: 4093&quot;]OK, all you researchers and statisticians.&nbsp; I got one for you.&nbsp; I would like to know the nature and distribution of bacteria, viruses, and molds on circulating coinage.&nbsp; Surely, one of you has access to a microbiologist with some petrie dishes and time on her hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have always been hesitant to handle a large numbers of circulated coins or paper.&nbsp; They have got to be filthy.&nbsp; My wife used to bring home great bags of junk jewelery from Goodwill stores.&nbsp; Each cost from $10 to $20 dollars at the time.&nbsp; She and my pre-teen daughter would rummage through the old stuff looking for keepers.&nbsp; My wife indeed found several remarkable pieces over the years, including a complete strand of pink pearls with an estimated street value of $1,500.00.&nbsp; Point being, that my wife and daughter went through a serious decontamination procedure after examining junk items on the living room floor.&nbsp; IMO, it was an advisable process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
