I love laundering money. 1.5 minute in the microwave usually gets it dry.
I’d find a way to get the money out, rinse it off & give it to the clerk & ask for change without touching it with my hands, but even then its safe to do so as long as you wash after you are done.
****Say, isn’t this a variation of old where they have a big tub of raw sewage with money on the top and people would wade into it to get the money? A lot did. A toilet is nothing compared to that.
Oh HELL YES! i would go for that $100. For a poor college student like me, $100 can buy a lot of stuff. A dollar, nah. Not worth it. The toilet may be smelly, full of nasty stuff, but $100 dollars is worth the grossness. I’d just be sure to clean the bill thouroughly, and scrub my skin with a brush and some soap afterwards though.
To the “yesses” —
I can’t help but wonder as I lurk this one.
What if we’re talking Trainspotting used. I mean really nasty, skanky, hepatitis-carrying, used condom having, not been flushed all night in a bar or stadium, don’t even wanna piss in it used?
For a C-note?

For a dollar, I’d fish it out, take it home, and cut it up into little squares and tell my friends it was a hit of acid.
Precisely. It’d probably cost you more than $100.00 in medical bills to get rid of the typhus, typhoid, hepatitis, rickets, scurvy, beri-beri, malaria, listeria, encephalitis, E-Coli 0157:H7, leprosy, amoebic dysentery, Ebola Zaire and God knows what-all else that you’d contract in just getting the damn thing out of the crapper. No, thanks…money isn’t that important to me. If y’all want it that bad, you’re welcome to it.

You can’t get any of those diseases from touching something with your hands…
As a matter of fact, you can get very few diseases from just touching something with your hands. Just wash them before touching anything else.
Now, on the other hand, if you meant there was some DMSO in the toilet too, forget it, I wouldn’t touch anything.
Besides, richetts, scurvy and beri-beri are all nutritional deficiency diseases, you can’t “catch” them at all. Malaria is transmitted by mosquitos, E-coli (nice job getting the right strain), ameoba dys, and hepatits A are all oral-fecal transmission, if you put that shit in your mouth (so to speak) you deserve what you get. the others I’d have to look up, I will if you want,

Ivick, big e-coli outbreak in the Albany area in upstate NY. At least 3 dead and into the hundreds have contracted it from tainted water at the Washington County Fair. Just wanted you to know that you never know when you’re going to catch it. Oneida NY had a boil water ordinance for the past week or so because their municipal water tested positive, although I haven’t heard whether it was the nasty strain or one of the wimpy strains.
Considering that money, ANY money that’s been in circulation, is about the filthiest stuff you can put your hands on, I’d think one dunked in a toilet might even be a bit cleaner than usual.
I wonder about OCD types and how they deal with money…
And gee… seems pretty obvious to me that (assuming the toilet wasn’t filled with something really pervasive and otherwise unavoidably horrible) washing one’s hands very thoroughly, and the bill, would be an easy way to deal with whatever mess there was.
INterestingly, as long as we’re being kinda gross, I’d find it easier to retrieve the money from a pooped-in toilet than a barfed-in toilet.
I am #1. Everyone else is #2 or lower.
Hell, yes! I’d reach in there and get it, take it over to the sinks, rinse it off, wash my hands thouroughly, and use it in my very next purchase. I am yet another poor college student, so I’d probably do this for a $1 bill. And yes, I have seen The Magic Christian. I’d probably do that, too, although I wouldn’t wade in or anything, I’d just content myself with what I could fish out from the edge.
