Certain virus can live anywhere for a certain period of time.\

I once had a dr. tell me that money was the nasty stuff you could touch. That there were more germs on money than in a public restroom.

I always use GermX after handling money.

I used to work in the cash office of a retail store. I counted all the receipts of the previous day and made the bank deposits. After I was done counting the money, my hands were filthy.

I have always washed my hands or used sanitizer after handling money as well. You never know where that bill has been before it made it into your hands.
