I picked up a button that had fallen on the ground for over a day. I suspect a dog might have licked it. While washing the button, I realized I have a small wound on my hand. Can there be any risk of rabies in this situation?" As I was washing it with my hand

Anything could happen Consult a GP and get yourself evaluated . You need proper counselling and expert guidance . Don't worry, you have all right to ask questions, and it needs a proper explanation, which needs  1 to 1 discussion. Seek help always from experts ......

Yes. I think you wanted this answer. Otherwise an average person with basic wisdom will avoid all these things. Your problem is that you know what you can get but you want to experiment with your own health and wellbeing , and later blame the Doctor. By the way, please learn one more thing; Rabies has no cure. You can only prevent it.
