Hi,
My name is Cortnee Patterson and I am doing a science project on the germs
on money (paper currency and coins).  I want to collect samples of money
from different businesses and test them.  How would I test for germs,
viruses, or bacteria?  I have some petri dishes with agar in them. owuld I
just place a dollar or coin in them?  Please help
Cortnee
