While visiting a public restroom of dubious cleanliness, you enter a stall to find a piece of US currency soaking in a puddle of some liquid, probably of biological origin. Nothing is stopping you from fishing it out with your foot or some other more elaborate plan although, in the end, you'll have a bill soaked in urine and floor filth.
What is the lowest denomination you're going to rescue from its watery home?
$1:5 (10.0%)
$2:0 (0.0%)
$5:7 (14.0%)
$10:5 (10.0%)
$20:10 (20.0%)
$50:10 (20.0%)
$100:9 (18.0%)
Refuse for any denomination:4 (8.0%)
Total:50

I voted $50.

20 bucks buys what, 3 fast food meals these days? Not worth the chance of getting even a minor illness.

Although it also depends on the availability of some sort of waterproof plastic bill storage device, and the distance to the closest antiseptic agent.

Hmm, location would be key here. More importantly, is it in close proximity to an annoying buisiness that would benifit from their having to smell a really crappy smell coming from their register all day. It's legal tender they have to accept it! i'm lookin at you starbucks!

$1. Grab it, then wash it and your hands with soap--you're not going to get an illness unless you suck at washing or your hands are covered in open wounds.

I won't take a **** in a public toilet unless the situation is dire so I'm sure as hell not going to put my hand in the bowl for less than a hundo.

I said five dollars, but today isn't a bad day. I'm sure there are days that I'd grab a dollar.

I think I'd immediately wash it and give it to a homeless person though...they always smell like pee anyway.

Really depends on just how disgusting the environment is. If I could convince myself that the floor was mopped in recent memory, I'd pick a $50 up with paper towels and wash it.

If it's in the toilet, then it's met its final resting place. Sorry, Ulysses.

I'd just roll out an arms length of TP, dry it off without making direct hand contact then spend it as quickly as possible without putting it in my wallet. If I am in a public restroom I have to be close to somewhere I can spend it or break it into change.

You know, the bills in your wallet right now could very well have recently been in the environment described in OP.

If I saw a hundred dollar bill floating in a public toilet, I'd start looking around for cameras.

$10, if i could keep from handling it directly (use a barrage of paper towels). US currency is actually cloth, not paper, and can be washed, either mechanically or by hand. With soap, warm water, and a teeny bit of bleach, it can be sanitized later.


Right, but laundering money is illegal!

*slaps knee*

hahaha, I'm so wicked funny.
