CASH IS SAFE, SECURE, RELIABLE, EFFICIENT AND SURCHARGE FREE!

Cash is safe and there is no medical or scientific evidence that cash spreads COVID-19.

The Royal Australian Mint, The Reserve Bank of New Zealand, The World Health Organisation and many medical experts and scientists have confirmed that cash is safe to use and safe to handle.

Some Australians have raised concerns at using cash despite it being safe do so.

Knowing this, it is important to factor in extra measures to reassure your members and patrons to return to and use cash at your venue as soon as the Government stipulates venues may reopen.

Here is how best to support and reassure your staff and patrons:

• Give your staff, members and patrons the facts and ensure that they are confident that you are taking precautions to ensure their wellbeing.
• Ensure your staff, members and patrons are aware that cash is safe to handle provided good hand hygiene is maintained.
