Contaminated currency

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen money? You know, those paper bills and shiny coins that adults use to buy things? Well, sometimes, these bills and coins can get dirty or even have germs on them. This is what we call contaminated currency.

When people use money, they touch it with their hands, and sometimes, their hands might be dirty or have germs on them. These germs can get onto the money, and the money can become a place for them to live and grow.

Contaminated currency can cause illnesses and infections if you touch the money and then touch your face or put your fingers in your mouth. Yuck!

But don't worry! There are ways to protect yourself from contaminated currency. Washing your hands before and after handling money is very important. You can also use hand sanitizer to kill germs.

Businesses and banks also sometimes clean or replace contaminated currency to keep it from spreading germs. So, remember, always wash your hands and stay clean to stay healthy!
