Everyone around me is getting flu-like symptoms. It may be difficult to stay away from people who are sick but could using your debit card be a simple way to stay healthy? Think about it. It's been in gross hands, dropped on streets and even on floors.
LendEDU, used a device to measure amounts of bacteria on all types of bills. The bills were given a score. Any score over 10 is no longer considered sanitary. They determined that the $20 bills were the nastiest with a score of 633. $5 bills were also considered gross with a score of 216. $100 bills were the cleanest with a score of 76.
