How Dirty Is That Dollar Bill? Very

Ever wonder how dirty and germ ridden the cash is that you handle? It's pretty dirty. I always wonder how the people who work at banks do it. Do they get a lot of colds? Usually, when my fingers are dry, I'll lick 'em to handle paper.

A new study is out by Cheat Sheet and here are the results:

- 94% of cash contains disease-causing agents.

- 26% of cash contains traces of E coli.

- 3,000 types of bacteria can be found on any given dollar bill.

- 50% of credit cards will test positive for MRSA if tested.

Yuck. Wash your hands!-Alan
