Newspaper 4- There's coke in your pocket.


If you currently have a wallet, purse, or any item on you that is currently carrying dollar bills, then there's a good chance you're also carrying illegal drugs.

In a recent study, 234 bank notes from 17 major cities around the country were examined closely, and researchers discovered that 90% of them contained traces of cocaine.
But don't get exited crack heads, most of the traces were almost miniscule, most smaller then a grain of sand. The largest being, maybe 50 grains of sand.

It seems that where you get your money from determines how much coke it will probably have on it. Large cities like Boston and Detroit produced the most drug covered bills, while Salt Lake City produced the least.

Researchers say the coke on your money probably comes from the common practice of sniffing cocaine threw rolled up bills, or from drug deals where it could accidentally be transferred to the money. For those of you who have to Germ-X before touching door handles, fear not. Doctors say the amount can't possibly be harmful to your health, and you won't be able to see the traces of if anyway.
