Well, I hope you don't have to handle a lot of coinage. One of the
coins leeches nickle at more than 5x the limit established by the EU
for jewelry etc. Apparently, their own health laws do not apply to
themselves(how convenient.)
You may say "eh, its just nickle." A large percentage of women, and
a smaller percentage of men, have fairly strong skin reactions to
nickle. Not a problem the with 5 cent nickle here in the US; it's an
alloy that does not allow much nickle to rub off(I believe.)
Health officials are most concerned about cashiers, toll collectors,
bank tellers, etc...
