Cocaine found on 99.9% of UK banknotes

From a related article:

"... most recent survey carried out in the US showed 65 percent of dollar notes were contaminated with cocaine. "

Hmmm, sounds like a growth industry

yay

Probably not exactly hacker news, but interesting that this isn't just some urban legend.

From my experience certainly not a legend. Myself and some friends were checked for cocaine by the police last week and we asked them to scan our bank notes to see if this was a legend or not. About half the notes had traces.
