Can copper coins cause a vaginal infection?
My friend Leanne is a bit afraid of muggers and thieves and keeps her money in the aforementioned location. This usually takes the form of coins, as she works in McDonalds and doesn't have much money. Hence the fear of thieves.
Anyway, I was concerned that this may cause infection, but I'm aware that copper is highly toxic to bacteria. Should she change all the coins for copper ones. Would 200 pennies be more hygienic than a single £2 coin?
Update: Pennies are copper coloured because they are plated with pure copper, and have been since 1991. I'm sure some people will mention Zombie Vegan apocalypse, but I assure you I haven't seen it. The name is a tautology, as zombies and vegans are the same thing.

..I really doubt that any women would use her vagina as a purse to transport coins at all. They're to heavyand not worth it to keep them there and if so than the chance of getting an infection is real high, so you just fooled us with this story I think, and it's even hard for her to keep them inside anyways..

dear troll, pennies are only copper colored, they are not pure copper. money itself is just about the filthiest germiest thing on the planet, passed from one dirty germy hand to another. people who have picked their noses, dug around in their behinds have all touched it without washing and then passed it along. so yes it could very well lead to infection if it were real, or if it were possible to walk around with 200 pennies up a vagina. I think perhaps you have read a horror story called Vegan Zombie Apocalypse in which women used their vaginas as purses
