Highest Traces of Cocaine Found on U.S. Bills

[Stoneage Dinosaur]

Police have stopped testing notes for traces of the drug in criminal investigations as the contamination is so widespread.

According to the Forensic Science Service the results are now meaningless as every note tests positive for cocaine.

I had a class recently where a handheld testing device was used. It could be set for different types of drugs or explosives, and every bill (probably 10 or 12 total) that we pulled out of our pockets to test did come back positive for cocaine.

More than one in every ten bank notes in circulation is tainted with cocaine powder.

Police say growing use of the drug means the number of notes carrying traces of the Class A drug has trebled in six years.

Is that what they mean by "high finance"?

Maybe the U.S. government keeps it's supply of cocaine and money in the same room. When necessary they just make shipments from that room, the money going to the wealthy neighborhoods and the cocaine going to the poor.
