As strange as it sounds, this is indeed the case.

The cost of money is measured in $ per $ (or actually currency per currency) which is a percentage also known as interest rate.

There are no known records of any time in history where interest rates were negative. Sure, only banks can "get" these but they will do and hand them to the next by investing in his asset.
