I generally wash my fingers after every 1 to 2 rolls depending on how bad they look. How often do you find yourself washing your hands while roll searching? Poll Choices Never. I wear one pair of gloves. Never. I wear multiple pairs of gloves. Every 1 to 2 rolls. Every 3 to 4 rolls. When I'm done. I enjoy the dirt and don't wash my hands.

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 10:37 am I only wear gloves (powder-free, blue nitrile gloves) if they're brand new coins that I want to avoid getting fingerprints on. Otherwise I usually wait until I'm done to wash up, my hands are dry enough as it is. The coins can be kinda gross, but copper and its alloys are antimicrobial, so they shouldn't be too germy unless they have big globs of crud. I have found stuff like old food in rolls on occasion, which will prompt me to wash up immediately. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 11:48 am I go through 5 rolls at a time and I wash my hands before I start and after the 5 rolls are finished. I try to do this twice a day. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
kookoox10 Pillar of the Community United States 1054 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 11:54 am Sometimes I go through a box and have to take a break somewhere in the middle. Before I do anything else I wash my hands, prepare food, restroom break, etc. But I usually wait until after I finish the box before I wash up if I go straight through. Report this Post to the Staff
mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 12:40 pm Occasionally I will search a box of nickels while wearing a standard pair of latex gloves, however I usually just suck it up and wash my hands when I'm done searching for the day/night or if it will be more than a few minutes until I resume searching.
