Honestly, and in line with a reply upthread[0], fresh saliva may be more sanitary. I mean, it has some non-zero antimicrobial properties, plus it doesn't accumulate random stuff that could grow over time.

Yeah, I'm starting to understand why old people may be past the point of giving a damn about the optics.

Please no... at least with cash. Cash is one of the dirtiest things out there. You don't even want to think about how dollar bills get dirty.

I've seen tons cash come out of bras, socks and other crevices, and I was just working at a gas station. Let your imagination run wild!
