   Yep, it’s true. I’ve actually seen money tested on an ionscan drug testing machine, and to find a bill with no drug traces is very rare.

   That’s weird because all my friends use straws that have been cut.

   I don’t carry cash. It’s been a problem on a vary rare occasion (when someones machine is down), but just about everywhere takes debit/credit cards anymore.
   Guess this gives me yet another reason to go plastic.

   Booo icky germ ridden, drug laced, easily stolen money!

   According to snopes this is essentially true, but the presence of cocaine does not mean that 4 out of 5 bills have been used as a coke straw. It simply means that the drug is a very fine powder and easily spread around.

    So 4000-5000 dollar bills, some Pet. Ether, a evaporation dish and you got yourself a little tiny party.
