NumisMattic2200 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Unless it's viruses you mean, they can't be killed that way... Interesting link, but I can't see the context - why were they made this way in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Unless it's viruses you mean, they can't be killed that way... Interesting link, but I can't see the context - why were they made this way in the first place? ALl I know is what's in the link - I just happened upon it while searching for banknotes in the Spokane area. I'd heard that banknotes wouldn't transfer germs when I was a kid, but I never really believed it. I'm going to have to look into whether the experiment worked or not, and if they're still doing something similar today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
