I have it from a reliable source that the virus can spread easily by passing paper currency from one hand to another. Not wanting to see any of my rodbuilding friends get this deadly virus there is a plan I have put in place to preserve my custom rodbuilder friends.

The idea is actually quite simple. If you take all of the paper currency in your wallet and place it in a zip lock bag and seal it while squeezing all the air out. Please be sure to wear surgical gloves. Then place the bag full of money in a bubble wrap envelope . Put my address on the bag (found on my website) and mail to me !! I assure you that I will properly dispose of all that currency in a safe and harmless facility !!!!!!

I am doing this for the greater good of my fellow builders !!

Tom,
You can also take all of the paper currency and put it in a microwave for 5 minutes which will kill all of the virus and make it safe.

Of course there is the outside chance that the currency will catch fire and then you will have to ship ashes. But, sometimes you have to take a risk.

Good advice as always, Roger.......Thanks

Tom,
I learned something tonight. Actually the radiation of a microwave oven does NOT kill the virus. However, if the objects that you put in the microwave are wet, the use of the microwave to boil the water for at least 4 minutes will dill the virus.
So, if you want to sterilize something using a microwave - be sure that it is wet before you put it into the oven to sterilize.

This would include any rod building parts you are concerned with. Of course you CANNOT put any metal into a microwave with out getting an explosive reaction.
