Amazing post! I wonder why everyone is called Mike Smith in the article though ? Mike Smith - VP of this, Mike Smith - a tourist, Mike Smith - etc. ?

Something else that wasn't covered is that cash is also dirty and carries grime and infections. Ideally you should wash your hands before you eat if you handle any cash. (this is less of a problem with laminated/plastic notes like the CAD or EUR)

Imagine a super virus propagating and killing people through cash. Ouch!



There are few, if any, documented cases of illness being transmitted by cash.

This is why regulation does not require food handlers to take special precautions while handling cash.


A quick google turned up this document[1], which claims that food handlers should wash their hands, "after handling money or a cash register."
