Bacterial contamination of paper currency.

Theodore W Pope1, Peter T Ender, William K Woelk, Michael A Koroscil, Thomas M Koroscil.   

Abstract

One-dollar bills were collected from the general community in western Ohio to survey for bacterial contamination. Pathogenic or potentially pathogenic organisms were isolated from 94% of the bills. These results suggest a high rate of bacterial contamination of one-dollar bills.
