Eliminate Your Risk Of Exposure To Cocaine From Your Money

Could some one be wrongfully convicted based on traces of a narcotic? Before you discount the possibility, consider a recent finding. A dollar bill gets exposed to others through ATMs, trade, cash drawers and dirty pockets thousands of times over the course of its life. As a result, the dollar is exposed to dirt, germs, residue, human DNA and even drugs. A recent study found that 90 percent of paper money circulating in the U.S. contains traces of cocaine. While the amount of cocaine found on dollar bills is not enough to cause health problems, it may be enough to wrongfully convict someone of drug possession.

Money can be contaminated with cocaine during snorts with a bill or just being in close proximity to other bills exposed to cocaine. Therefore, a dollar can become tainted with cocaine in the ATM or in a counting machine or just from being placed in a stack with a contaminated bill.

The American Chemical Society found that $5, $10, $20 and $50 bills were more likely to be positive for cocaine than $1 bills. So what lesson can be learned? Wash your hands after touching cash. This may help present disease. A Southern Medical Journal study published in 2002, found that 94 percent of the bills tested had potentially disease-causing organisms.
Second, keep in mind that contaminated bills could cause a false positive drug test if a person, such as a law enforcement officer or banker, handles contaminated currency repeatedly.
Money handlers could breathe in cocaine and subsequently test positive for cocaine.

Drug-contaminated money is believed to be geographically correlated with population size. A hundred percent of the sample bills collected from major cities tested positive for cocaine. The larger the city, the more likely a bill is contaminated.
