- Contaminated Currency Depositing Procedures must be followed when depositing currency that has been damaged by or exposed to an impurity that poses a health hazard or safety risk.
- Contamination occurs when money is exposed to liquids, fluids, or chemicals of a hazardous or contagious nature.
- The word "CONTAMINATED" must be written on the outside of the outer bag in large letters with permanent marker.
- Contaminated currency must be double-bagged with tamper evident seals, and bags must be large enough to permit movement of currency within the bag. (Cash and Coin NOT included)
- These bags meet all standards outlined by the Federal Reserve.
Contaminated currency bags allow for the safe treatment and transportation of hazardous or contaminated materials. Along with contamination protection, these deposit bags provide tamper-evident security features.
