  That is a darn good point.  They use to make coins out of silver so it would 
not spread disease, they no longer do that.  But the copper in coins should 
still help. 
  Paper money should have silver impregneted in it to kill nasties.

    I wonder why I haven't seen discussions about currency exchange being a 
transmission route? It seems to me, that if this stuff can live on common 
surfaces at wide temperature ranges for extended periods of time, it could be 
spread quite easily by handling and transferring money. Just a thought...
