(CNN) -- The term "dirty money" is for real.
A chemistry professor said cocaine found on U.S. bills could provide insight about drug trends.
In the course of its average 20 months in circulation, U.S. currency gets whisked into ATMs, clutched, touched and traded perhaps thousands of times at coffee shops, convenience stores and newsstands. And every touch to every bill brings specks of dirt, food, germs or even drug residue.
Research presented this weekend reinforced previous findings that 90 percent of paper money circulating in U.S. cities contains traces of cocaine.
yeah but its not like all that money was rolled up and used as a strawI vowed to never use bills again after I worked a cash register. My hands would always feel (and look) so fucking nasty after an hour or so.
most of it likely got transfered post partyspoiler (click to show/hide)im responsible for some of it[close]
I think they did this study back in the 80's too.In Cocaine Cowboys, I think they mentioned something about all the bills having cocaine traces but that was in Miami so obviously it should still be around 100%.
I'd bet most money carries traces of fecal matter as well, since there are so many jerks who don't wash after wiping.
:yuck

I wish you'd posted this before I rubbed my money all over my gums.
