I was about to point that out.
As well as the fact that cotton-based paper is not, in general, antiseptic. Imagine how many people handled that fiver before you and didn't wash their hands after a wank, or a shit, or wiping the blood from thier most recent track mark.

*Fresh* urine is sterile -
assuming the provider is healthy, and the trough drains freely. Couple of assumptions I wouldn't risk for a handful of copper.

Urine is neither sterile, or
particularly germ laden. Once it leaves the bladder, it can easily be contaminated before it exits.

It is as likely to carry bacteria as saliva or snot. The sterile thing is an urban legend.

As is the piss-infested peanut story. It has been paraded in various forms (mints at restaurant checkout, etc). There's no doubt some contamination occurs, but nobody seems to have actually ever made any tests.
