Fehlfunktion auf dem Parkplatz Middelburg Zahlungsterminal, „aber niemand hat Bargeld wegen Korona“

In den letzten Tagen war die Abteilung ‚Operations‘ in Deutschland mit der Installation von zwei Geldautomaten besonders beschäftigt.

Sowohl das Deutsche Post Darwish Center in Lünenberg als auch das Straßenrestaurant Kavak Gastro in Bremerhaven sind um einen Geldautomaten reicher!

Auch in Deutschland beginnt allmählich die „neue Normalität“, was bedeutet, dass sie wieder mit Bargeld bezahlen können und ein Geldautomat um die Ecke daher sehr wichtig ist.

CALGARY  — Cash and coins are known for traveling around the world picking up germs along the way, but it might be surprising to hear it’s not the ‘dirtiest’ thing in your wallet.

A study conducted by LendEDU tested for bacteria on the surface of 41 different credit and debit cards, 27 different bills, and 12 different coins using a device that returns a germ score. The higher the number, the dirtier the surface.

The study showed that the average germ score for credit/debit cards was 285, compared with 160 for various dollar bills and 136 for different coins.

“When you think about all the places your cash has been and how many times it has changed hands, you realize that bills become germ-transporting vessels. And even as we progress towards a cashless society, those debit and credit cards are still getting swiped or inserted, changing hands, or sitting on bar tops,” Michael Brown, the study’s author, said.

“This comes as a bit of a surprise as one might expect cash to be the filthiest since cash stays in circulation a lot longer and can travel across the country by changing hands. However, debit and credit card usage numbers have quickly caught up to cash’s figures; in fact, debit cards are actually the most commonly used payment method today.”

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started some businesses have eliminated cash transitions due to concerns of contracting the virus.

The President of the Canadian Association of Secured Transportation (CAST) Steven Meitin wants to end the practice of ‘cash-shaming’ saying LendEDU’s study is an example of the continued ‘misinformation’ surrounding the cleanliness of cash.

“We find it’s unnecessary to refuse cash when we accept handling other plastics that offer a far greater risk of contamination,” Meitin said.

He added refusing to allow individuals to pay with cash can result in struggles for the vulnerable population.

“Whether it’s because they don’t have the ability to use credit and debit cards or because of a personal preference to use cash due to privacy reasons.”
