Disposing of nasty old change is just the right thing to do. Get rid of it.

Researchers have found hundreds of species of microorganisms living on money. These include species of bacteria that cause acne, MRSA, vaginal bacteria, oral microbes, mold, fecal matter, and viruses such as E. Coli and Salmonella among others.
