Cocaine-laced Euros

German euros ‘full of cocaine’ (BBC):

Almost all euro banknotes circulating in Germany contain traces of cocaine, German researchers say. … ‘Nine out of 10 banknotes show clearly measurable amounts of cocaine,’ Professor Fritz Soergel of the Institute for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research in Nuremberg was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.

… The concentrations of cocaine on Spanish euro notes were almost a hundred times that of what was recorded in Germany; … Professor Soergel said that his team was ‘almost knocked flat’ by results of yet another recent study in Barcelona.
