Money is the dirtiest thing.

Of course, it is dirty but I guess not the only thing that we considered the dirtiest but among the dirtiest. Yes many people with clean or dirty hands touch bills and coins. Everyone knows how dirty money is.

I do agree...many people go to the bathroom before paying a bill and I know alot of people who aren't very diligent at washing their hands aftewards....then there are other ways it get dirty...like on day I got some bills with glitter on them...needless to say they had been in a not so nice place...

Hey there, i believe that too money goes anywhere and that we can only speculate where it has been i think that if we try to test money we will find different microbes that are dangers to peoples health if ingested so better be careful not to give kids money so that they don't put it on there mouths and get sick that goes for adults too to wash there hands before eating after touching money.

They do say money is the dirtiest thing. I remember working in retail and fast food. I would constantly be washing my hands. You dont know where that has been before, or who have touched it. I remember a friend fishing $20.00 out of a porta potty then washing it (to me $20.00 isnt worth it especially fishing it out and cleaning it). But then she used it and whoeverelse touched it.

I agree. I never let my kids put it in their mouth and I always wash my hands after I touch cash or coins, or at least as soon as I can afterward. You never know where it's been and who's touched in and what kind of germs it has picked up along the way. Luckily, for the most part, I always use plastic, but sometimes cash is necessary. =)

Hi Ryauro, I agree with you from point of hygiene that money is with some dirty thing .We should wash our hands after shopping and before eating food. Don't touch the eyes, nose, ears and even the skin after we touch the cash or the coin. The cash and coind carry much dirt thing that we can't see by our eyes. We should pay high attention to the kids under age of 6-7 and don't let them to touch the money and take good care of them. And tell them why we avoid to put the coin in the mouth. And teach them to wash hand after their playing and before eating food.

it sure is. likely carries any disease anyone might have also. if you ever go to vegas you should remember to wear gloves at the machines to because i didnt realise why so many did but found out you cant hardly wash the metal taste off your hands when you handle coins all day

For your kind information, money is the biggest source of infection for spread of any contagious disease. Thus, it is the sweetest as well as the dirtiest thing in the world. So be careful about it.

hello riyauro, I concur. I think about some of the people who hide there money in there socks, bras and even under there pants. I think money should be inside a jar, box or a wallet. That's where they belong.

You are absolutely right. Hygienically money is certainly the dirtiest thing in the world.I don't know how many persons have touched and kept in their pockets the coins and currency notes that I now have in my pocket.And there is no means to know how many of them were beggars or patients or even common men.Now they are with me and I need to wash my hands properly every time I touch them.Otherwise I may fall victim to some disease.The irony is that we can't avoid earning and touching money.

Hi friend, your thought is really funny and unique, i agree money is really dirty from your point of view, since it is handled by different kind of persons in different situations.

Yes, in this aspect money is dirty to touch because it used by many hands, but from another aspect it is good to buy us what we want if not why there are so many people strive for it?

Hello friends,Yes money is a medium of contamination as some of them carries bacteria,bugs which can cause some illness like throat infection,urinary infection and other serious infectious disease.Money is exchanged through a number of persons some of whom are sick and in unhygienic condition.We should never allow children to keep it in their mouth as they are more susceptible to infections.Thanks & regards....

yeah,i totally agree with you,my mom tell me that when i was a little child,and she ask me to wash my hand every time after i touch money.i think there are enormous virus on it,if you dont care that.you could be infected. it is very useful information and thank you for sharing
