CNN says 90% of bills have traces of cocaine

Im not sure why someone took the liberty to do this study over the weekend but these are some of the highlights from the article.

" Scientists say the amount of cocaine found on bills is not enough to cause health risks.

Money can be contaminated with cocaine during drug deals or if a user snorts with a bill. But not all bills are involved in drug use; they can get contaminated inside currency-counting machines at the bank."

Zuo, who spoke about his research at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society on Sunday, found that $5, $10, $20 and $50 bills were more likely to be positive for cocaine than $1 bills.

"Probably $1 is a little too less to purchase cocaine," Zuo said "I don't know exactly [why]. It's an educated guess."

I guess if I have to choose between the dollar in my wallet and my $50 bill, Im definitely picking my $50.

They call it money to blow for a reason!!
