Wow, now they are on fool’s errands. How many times does a bill change hands before it finds its way back to a bank?

In the US, it is said a $1 or $5 bill changes hands on average about 110 times per year. That’s just less than ten times per month or a new “owner” every three days. I guess bills spend a lot of time in wallets, ATM machines, store tills.

Can bills really be a major vector?

Maybe they will require every store to send every bill every night to a bank for disinfecting.

Yup. I guess it reassures the customer who gets clean money at the bank. But as soon as they buy something & get change back, it’s all for naught.
