[PEN-L:11356] Addicted to Money

[Jim Westrich <westrich@xxxxxxx>]

FYI--

In a recent study conducted by Adam Negrusz, PhD, assistant professor of
forensic sciences, UIC Department of Pharmaceutics and Pharmacodynamics,
cocaine was found on 92% of $20 and $1 bills randomly collected in
Illinois.

All of the $20 bills were found to contain cocaine (anywhere from around
..14 to 10
micrograms per bill) and most of the $1 bills were found to be positive.

For a control Prof. Negrusz had the Federal Reserve ship him a bag of bills
(I wonder if they will ship me a bag) and none of these bills had any cocaine.

Peace,

Jim
