Bank cards and notes as dirty as unwashed toilet bowls

You’ve heard of dirty money, but this is ridiculous.

A survey has revealed that one in every 12 bank cards, one in every 16 bank notes, and one in every 10 people’s hands are as dirty as an unwashed toilet bowl.

Figures compiled to mark the UN’s Global Handwashing Day show that, despite the vital role keeping clean plays in preventing infection and disease, a large section of the population fails to adhere to the common sense advice.
