Dirty Money
Unlike urine on restaurant mints, this one happens to be true. A large (estimates range as high as 79-97%) percentage of US currency is indeed contaminated with trace amounts (2.4 nanograms to 1327 micrograms of cocaine per bill) of cocaine--amounts large enough to cause drug-sniffing dogs to alert over packages containing only money. This does not mean, however, that all this cash was used in drug deals, nor is the contamination limited to large denomination bills. Most of the bills, promiscuous beggars that they are, probably picked up the contamination from other bills, at banks, at the Federal Reserve (the sorting machines at the Fed have been found to be contaminated with over 200 nanograms of cocaine each), or in someone's wallet. |
