Study finds 90% of US paper money laced with cocaine

The latest studies reveal up to nine out of 10 American banknotes test positive for traces of cocaine presenting strong evidence of dirty money in the country.

The biggest and most comprehensive analysis to date of cocaine contamination of banknotes, as researchers describe, showed that up to 90 percent of paper money in the United States bears traces of cocaine.

The results show that in large cities such as Baltimore, Boston, and Detroit the traces are easier to find. Analysis of bank notes from Washington DC showed that 95 percent of them carried minute particles of cocaine.

The scientists tested banknotes from more than 30 cities in five countries, namely the US, Canada, Brazil, China, and Japan.

The US and Canada had the highest levels, with an average contamination rate of between 85 and 90 percent, while China and Japan had the lowest, between 12 and 20 percent contamination.

people getting high because of the recession? how can they if they don't have any money? (other than their snort dollar)

People, people, there's no need to worry. This is true, there are trace amounts of cocaine on 4 out of 5 bank notes in the USA. However, it's only about a millionth of a gram on each bill so it's unlikely to be detectable or even have any effect at all. I would hardly use the term 'laced with' as that implies a large amount, when there clearly isn't.

okay, so if we can't get high off one one-dollar bill, then how about ten of them? *time to get high*

wow, talk about embarrassing for those pro-americans

Everything is the recessions fault.

It couldn't also be that it was only a matter of time that the "clean" money became "dirty" money.

Eventually every bill will have traces of cocaine, unless you get it straight from the currency printing press.
