Bank of Thailand advocates washing banknotes
Central bank says “mild detergent” or soapy water will be enough
‘Money laundering’ could take on a whole new meaning in Thailand, after the country’s central bank advised members of the public to wash their banknotes.
In a statement on Twitter, the Bank of Thailand noted there were many people who were concerned banknotes could be contaminated with the coronavirus, thus increasing its spread.
As a result, the central bank is advising people to wash their banknotes with mild detergent or soapy water, should they feel it necessary.
