Germs die on copper surfaces.
The MUSC study, funded by the U.S. Department of Defense and published in October, found copper surfaces in intensive-care hospital rooms had 97 percent less bacteria than noncopper surfaces, resulting in fewer hospital-acquired infections. The copper was found to kill several types of bacteria, including a strain of E. coli and MRSA, a staph bacteria that can lead to fatal infections.

And pretty, too.
@ProudHillbilly: I'd spend all my time polishing it. Wonder if it's a plating or if it's solid copper?
