I'm glad someone said it. It's generally considered rude to hand someone money directly in many (most?) countries in Europe.

Never heard that.
Why is it called a Counter then?
While I admit to being raised by two Emily Post-esque parents who had etiquette for every possible human interaction my secretary just happened to pop in and I ask her "Is it OK to place your money on the counter when paying in a store?". Her response was "If you wanna be an a-hole."
It may be a regional thing but a quick Goggle search shows the opinion seems to be widespread.
As for the etymology of the word "counter" and how it relates to a specific interaction I would just say relying on lexicology to guide your daily personal interactions is likely to cause you to run afoul of convention as often as not.

There are black people that believe if you don’t put the money in their hand you are afraid their black will rub off on you.
Except this lady was Indian/middle Eastern. Not black.
In fact, from my experience, the ones that run hood stores tend to be racist AF.

alright then. When I was a teenager I worked at a convenience store and peeps would toss coins at me. I had an irrational hate for these people.

Ask her what it it's from a sweaty man's dirty hands.
Like I said, had the lady Presented her hand out for it, I would have given it to her in her hand.
This wasn't the case and counter seemed like next best option

Get it right. It's goonie goo-goo.
Next time she'll throw a shoe at your arse.

Black folk thinks it’s racist or some shite because you “don’t want to touch their hand” I remember reading an article on it
Ever since I read it I’ve made sure to put money on the counter every time

Might be a Peckerwood,
And I might be a honkey,
All up here in the hood,
Least I ain't no Swamp donkey,
I got a bunch of change,
I don't know the amount,
Well you might find it strange,
BUT THE COUNTER'S WHERE I COUNT
You see I pay in cash,
So I avoid the fee,
You wouldn't know about that
You just swipe your EBT,
I ain't got time for you,
So I'm just gonna leave,
'Fore I smack that ugly wig
Turn it to a tumbleweave.
