Money has become integral part of our life. With out Money we can’t
live. Irrespective of its form coins or paper notes, money exchanges
several hands every day. There are hundreds of activities which a person
performs from the moment he wakes up in the morning till he goes to
sleep at night. It can be with a Professional or a Beggar; it can be
with a Doctor or a patient. We use money in our every day life; we
purchase groceries from a local store, we donate to a temple, we give it
to a beggar etc. Money can be exchanged from clean hands to dirty hands
and vice versa aka healthy life to infection life.
When people count currency notes they usually wet their fingers with their saliva produced in the mouth thinking it will make them easy to count but with this method currency notes can be infected with virus and microorganisms the person has. When it moves to a different hand the virus is carried in the currency notes. The Person will again wet is finger from his mouth to count the notes where the virus or microorganisms can transfer to his mouth very easily.
E.g. Person who adds petrol to your vehicle would have touched petrol and other harmful chemicals in the petrol bunk and with the bare hands he gives the change (currency notes) to you. People count this infected notes by wetting their fingers from their mouth which can easily transfer the bacteria to your body.
Imagine the currency notes you have might have travelled through out the country and has been exchanged from many hands. Contamination from the anal region, wounds, nasal secretions & aerosols generated by sneezing & coughing are potential sources of transfer of microorganisms to currency notes during handling and this contaminated notes which has virus can be easily transferred to your mouth if you wet your fingers from your mouth saliva to count the notes.
Some research shows that Indian banknotes has germs which can cause Tuberculosis, meningitis, tonsillitis, peptic ulcers, throat infections, genital tract infections etc. The bugs from banknotes infect the body through scratches on the hands or when the hand touches the mouth or nose.
I suggest public to be careful and take some precautions in handling money

I suggest public to be careful and take some precautions in handling money
- Wash your hands cleanly after you do money transactions using physical notes.
- Avoid keeping money in brassieres, handkerchiefs and in shoes.
- Currency notes can be disinfected by regular exposing of contaminated notes to U.V. rays or fumigation. Suggest and educate this to the people around you.
