Answers of Dietmar
GLINDEMANN |
|
What was the first situation ever when you detected the metallic odor? |
Pocket money as a kid during an "Oktoberfest" |
|
Was the metallic smell of the money repulsive? |
No. The metallic smell faded quickly away. |
|
Can you describe the metallic smell of money? |
A rich flavor. |
|
Is the metallic smell of money a health problem? |
No. Health problems start only if you do NOT smell money anymore. Symptoms are headache and cold feet. |
|
What is the evolutionary advantage of the human ability to smell “metallic”? |
Trailing money. For example, copper smells strongly metallic and can easily be tracked. Gold does not smell metallic. Therefore, humans possess much more copper-pennies than gold-eagles. |
| Why do currently acid treated crumbling bank notes circulate in Germany? |
Some people want to make them smell metallic. |
Anecdotal evidence of metallic smell:
There's the old story about the baker who sues a homeless beggar who keeps
coming into the bakery and inhaling the scent of freshly baked bread. To make a
long story short, the judge orders the beggar to remove the few coins he has in
his ragged pockets. "okay," says the judge to the baker, "the court now gives
you permission to smell his money."

The
method 
The result: 1-Octen-3-one, CAS No.
4312-99-6
Error in some press releases on "The Two Odors of Iron...":
1-Octen-3-one (and not 1-Octen-2-one) is the key odorant chemical that is
described in the article
Iron ions are NOT "negatively" charged in this odor mechanism.
