DON'T USE MICROWAVE TO DISINFECT BANKNOTES

Now that Covid-19 is a pandemic, how far would you go to disinfect your items?

A man has previously attempted to disinfect his Singapore dollar notes by washing them with soap.

On Wednesday (11 Mar), China news-in-English website Shanghaiist reported that a South Korean man from Busan thought of another "good" way to disinfect his money — heating it in a microwave.

The man gathered a total of 39 pieces of 10,000 won notes — amounting to around S$450 — then placed them inside a microwave.

Once he turned on the device, he was surprised to find that the banknotes were smoking.

Prior to the man's attempt, a Chinese auntie from Jiangsu province burnt thousands of yuan after placing her money in a microwave for disinfection, reported The Independent.

The woman — also known as "Aunt Li" — was concerned because the banknotes could've been touched by people infected with Covid-19.

After less than 1 minute in the oven, the money was burnt to a crisp.
