Taste Testing Money?

Did you know that in the 19th century, a popular method for testing the integrity of paper money involved licking it? That’s right! Bankers believed that if the bill tasted sour, it was likely a counterfeit. Imagine passing your cash around like it's a piece of candy. But it gets weirder! Some pranksters even created fake notes that tasted like chocolate to confuse the lickers. So, next time you handle cash, remember… it might not just be your luck on the line, but your taste buds too!
