[font=Trebuchet MS,Book Antiqua,Bookman Old Style,Arial]Seemingly every dollar bill has enough coke on it to alert some sniffer dogs. So if your trying to hide drugs, don't carry an american bill...[/font]

I daresay they'd get similar results on the tops of cisterns in pub jacks.

Ah yes those are the statistics. Thought it was higher but explains the busy cubicles nonetheless.

It's not actually, I read about this in "bringing down the house" - the book about the card counters who flew to vegas and took the casinos for millions.

Apparently it was a very real risk for these people as they were carrying huge amounts of cash in person, and due to the quite high possibility of a good few $100 bills having traces of charlie on them, they ran the risk of getting done as drug dealers.

so some trace amount of coke on blils is enough to get you done as a dealer eh eoin_s?

I would think not, but these guys were carrying huge amounts of currency on their persons, and if enough notes had traces of coke on them, then the sniffer dogs would have something to sniff. Sorry if that was not explicit in my earlier post. Anyway, just quoting what was in the book.

Its funny in New York every second 5 Dollar Bill you handle has blood on the edges

Tbh these days Id say yid get a pretty similiar figure for notes handled in Dublin these days

Coke trade has gone through the fcuking ceiling, we are at the stage now the US was in in the 70s and 80s with regards popularity

The stuff doesnt seem to be nearly as popular down the country, fair enough most users out there have tried it, but the majority still prefer yokes.

Yeah. To be honest - sticking stuff up your nose sounds a bit ****.
