A recent study of US currency revealed it is covered in trace amounts of cocaine.
I mean, you see it in the movies all the time, but I never would have thought to test the paper itself.
Turns out Washington, DC came in first place for highest concentration of the drug on its tested bills. This was followed by Baltimore, Boston (!?), and Detroit.
I don't have much to say about this, other than I found it interesting. From Gawker,
[Yuegang] Zuo, who believes that the amount of cocaine residue present in the currency of a geographic area is in direct correlation to that area's level of drug abuse (Makes sense!), and his associates found that Asian countries collectively appear to be the least fond of cocaine, while Canadians appear to be just as fond of it as Americans, though considerably sloppier in their usage of the drug, with some bills containing as much as 2,350 micrograms of the drug. This is undoubtedly because of general Canadian laziness created socialism — Americans who have to actually work to pay for their cocaine would never be so wasteful.
Tee hee.

And most likely the only cocaine I will ever come in contact with!
