Coins and currency notes are ubiquitous in daily transactions, rendering them potential carriers of diverse microorganisms, including pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The presence of these microbes on money poses significant public health risks, contributing to the spread of infectious diseases. This review comprehensively discusses microbial contamination on banknotes and coins, exploring their sources, methods for detection, and the potential health implications for individuals. Furthermore, it highlights crucial preventive measures, such such as improved hygiene practices and the adoption of digital transaction alternatives, to effectively mitigate the microbial risks associated with currency handling.
