Cocaine Found on Nearly All Euro Notes
We've known in the U.S. for a long time that dog alerts on money are meaningless because almost all currency contains traces of cocaine.
Now, a new study by German scientists has revealed that cocaine is found on nearly all euro notes.
Prof Fritz Sögel and a team from the Institute for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research in Nuremberg studied 700 euro notes from across the euro zone between January 2002 - the month the notes were launched - and last August.
Three per cent were found to be contaminated with an average of 0.4 microgrammes of cocaine particles, just days after the euro's launch, and this figure soared to 90 per cent in seven months.
The most highly contaminated notes, in the first study of its kind on euro notes, originated from Spain.
