If you are
self-isolating because of the pandemic here is a health-related coin. It is
from Panama and is a 1/4 cuarto de balboa 2008.
The inscription is protegete mujer
Which means protect yourself woman
and is about breast cancer awareness.
Are there any health issues
with coins?
There was a story in
2014 about the Royal Mint issuing coins clad in nickel. Instead of the copper-nickel alloy that had been
used since 1947, new 5p and 10p pieces were made from steel and coated with a
layer of nickel. However, some people suffer from a nickel allergy.
You should wash your hands if
you handle cash
In the Middle Ages a lot of
people died as a result of coins – they were executed for counterfeiting
them.
It is dangerous to swallow
coins unless they are made of chocolate. If you do swallow one call a doctor
for advice. Do not wait until you go to the toilet to see if there is any
change.
Keep well!
