Cash is legal tender. If a business refuses your tender of legal currency, you have discharged your obligation and the debt is settled.

Not everybody has a credit card, or chooses to use one.

If this was true, bank tellers and store clerks would be disproportionately infected. There’s nothing yet to indicate that.”

Good point!

Please provide some documentation for your assertion.

Then what does your eraser touch?

Just the keypad. I don't bring it up to my face or rub my eyes with it like I would my fingers. Plus, it's a tiny spot compared to a fingertip.

Every time you leave the house there is a risk. The key is to minimize it.

Sunlight is God’s natural bacteracide and viracide. Banks should be bringing UV scanners online, to sanitize cash.

Banks handle a lot more than your cash collection. A quick and thorough method in the banks is the solution, but that will not forward the globalist agenda.

Good thing Silver & Gold coins are harder to burn.

All part of the plan and we know what happens.

Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

And again - the pic of the woman buying flour and yeast is from Venezuela from several years ago. Fingerprint pay confirmation was already there.

Good post. You can just leave paper and metal money by themselves for a few days and they will self-decontaminate. When you go out, just take the oldest ones with you.

Of course this won’t be known by the store clerk. You will be doing it for public health reasons.

It’s all happening faster and faster.

Federal law is suspended under martial law, I believe. Correct me if I’m wrong. We only have state law, usually, but when the states have also declared a state of emergency, I wonder if we would have even that.

It’s lucky we are a nation of good people, basically.

When my niece was around two, she wanted to hold money and investigate it.

I let her. My sister said... OMG!! No! Don’t do that. Money is germ ridden.

She then cut up some green construction paper and gave it to her.

lol. That didn’t fool her for a millisecond.

She wanted the stuff that she saw adults holding.

Now that I think about it, probably not a bad way to sterilize cash, credit cards, etc.
