A UK supermarket has banned the use of money that was stored in shoes and bras as part of the effort to reign in the spread of COVID-19. Among other strange facts coming out of this outbreak is that some people lick their money before handing it over to the cashier.

We are doomed.

[Ed Note - Updated the story to reflect that the store is called Iceland and is, in fact, a UK supermarket.]

    Or maybe iron it under a brown paper bag, to transfer the heat but not allow the hot surface to come in direct contact with the banknote. Try it out and let us know! We'll PayPal you a few Euro to try it out and see how much heat it takes to screw it up badly enough to stop working.

    Doh. If it's plastic wash it gently with soap. 20 seconds etc.
