        I didn’t think that could happen just from licking the notes!

      You’re not from Germany then. We love our Bargeld so much that we feel helpless without trace amounts of currency in our wallets.

      Must not work POS, cash is flowing like mad all the time. Cards are more prevalent now but cash is still king

        Plenty of cash, it’s just not made of paper!

            US money is made from mostly cotton. Thanks to Inside Man with Denzel and Clive for making me remember this bit of trivia.

        The key word there was paper. As opposed to plastic, which is what they use for notes in Australia…

        I was referring to the money being made of paper

    One of my friends blew his nose into some money once. I wouldn’t snort drugs off money. Seems like a great way to get a weird nasal infection.

      Sometimes I need to wipe my face after a meal and have no napkins so I use money

      My friends and I often staple cash to ourselves. I have no idea how infections aren’t more common. Every now and then a piece will actually get stuck under the skin.

      I’ve been trying to move more towards tarot cards since they’re cleaner

    Well, well done, western leaders for trying to stop us using currency and move to traceable electronic funds. They’re only looking after us. Bless.

    As long as most cocaine doesn’t contain trace amounts of dirty money, it’s fine.
    (It does so it’s not fine.)

    My dad told me this. He also said that if i’m ever found to be positive to a cocaine swab, i can pull that as a defense.

    Did you just step through a time machine from the 90’s or were you born yesterday?

    Living under a rock?

    How did you JUST learn this? That’s more fascinating to me than the post.

        I’m aware of the 10,000. STILL, this is referenced in things all of the time. I want to know what rock they’ve been under.

      To be fair, it’s called “Today I Learned”. Just happens that I learned this when I was yesterday’s years old. That’s and I not a U.

      Also, based on the other responses, it seems I’m not the only one who might not have known this before now.

      I’ll keep the rock, beats the glass house you live in.

        It’s amazing how offended everybody is by my surprise. It’s almost as if I attacked you personally. World full of thin skinned people.

        They linked the Wikipedia article, which has several references. It is real.
