CoinCare - Coin Sanitizer Kills Germs With UV Light

	Why You Need CoinCare
	The spread of infectious disease is a global concern with few practical preventative solutions. The realities of modern-day urban living means that people are constantly exposed to the bacteria and germs of others without enough defense against viral illness. The recent spread of H1N1 illustrated the pace and severity of which a flu virus can spread into a global pandemic, with people of all ages and incomes looking for easy-to-implement lifestyle habits to protect themselves from falling victim. Recent research has shown that 18% of all coins contain bacteria and germs that can cause infectious disease. As the visionaries of CoinCare, we have created a product to eliminate the transmission of germs through one of the most commonly touched and exchanged objects. CoinCare is a unique coin sanitizing and sorting unit that provides users with a convenient way to carry clean and organized change while on the go. The product is composed of two main parts; the home sanitizing station and a portable container called the ‘cointainer’. When coins are inserted into the top of the home unit, they flow through a sorting mechanism, which sorts each coin by denomination. During this process, the coins are exposed to UVC light, which kills 99.9% of the germs, bacteria, and viruses that the coins were harboring. The clean coins are then placed and organized into the portable coin holder, which is found at the bottom of the home unit. When the ‘cointaner’ is filled, any extra coins will be stored and used to refill it at some point in the future. Contracting viruses from objects or surfaces that harbor a virus is one of the major catalysts for the rapid spread of infectious disease. Essentially, CoinCare brings to the market a preventative that tackles the bacteria which lives on this frequently touched and exchanged object. This product is unique in that there exists no practical solution to the dangers of germs on coins, filling a large void in a market with simply the common cold. Fundamentally, CoinCare not only provides an opportunity for people to protect themselves from contracting illness, but it gives them a practical platform for them to conveniently implement more hygienic lifestyle habits.
