Abstract
The aim of the study was collect of different paper and cupreous
coins from area at Shebein EL – Kom city, Minufiya governorate and
determination of microbial loads of these paper andCupreous coins samples. Samles of coins were collected from localmarkets I.e, Boucher`s market, vegetable and fruit markets, fish markets,buses and Bakery in summer season of 2008.Bacterial cultures used in this study involved total bacterial
count,Bacillus cereus (DSM 315), Staphylococcus aureus (DSM

DSM 347) which were obtained from Microbiological Resource Center “
MIRCIN” Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams, University, Cairo, Egypt.
After the incoubation of the plates at 35◦C for 24 -48 hr. the colonies
which appear were counted depending on Microbiological specifications.
The obtained results can be summarized as the following (1)- The rate of bacterial contaminated differed from one region anther and from coin to anther this difference refer to many factors such as the big amount of this currency from one custumer to anther.(2)- The maximum value of total bacterial count in coins was in birdsmarkets vegetable and fruit markets.(3)- The highet rate of pollution by Staph aureus and E. coli was obtained from Bouchers markets.However, the highest rate of contamination by Salmonella typis and
Entrococcus was showed from fish market.
