Leprosy, however, is in fact not easily transmitted by casual contact, and such transmission as there is only happens through long term, constant and intimate contact with leprosy sufferers and not contact with everyday objects used by sufferers. LEPROSY COLONY MONEY The original idea of leprosy colony money was the prevention of leprosy in healthy persons. In 1938, Dr. Gordon Alexander Ryrie in Malaysia proved that the paper money was not contaminated with leprosy bacteria and all the banknotes were burned in that country.[ The first special money The oldest special money known was made in 1901 for use in three leper colonies of Colombia, called Agua de Dios, Cano de Loro and Contratacion. 5 kinds of coins were known, with 2.5 Centavos, 5 Centavos, 10 Centavos, 20 Centavos, and 50 Centavos. "Republica de Colombia 1901" was engraved. These coins were issued after the first leprosy congress in Berlin in 1897.
