Does rubbing your hand on piece of copper help to sanitize your hands?

Well, let's be sensible. The first step in sanitizing something is to wash it. Some metal ions kill some microbes*, but that is not a reliable way to wash your hands.

*For example, if you have an automatic pet water bowl, you put bits of copper and silver (pennies and dimes) in the bottle to prevent slime.
