U.S. Dollar Is World’s Most Coked-Out Currency
Despite the patriotic efforts of Brits like Pete Doherty, Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse, the U.S. dollar contains more cocaine than any other form of currency. A study by Spanish chemists reveals that the average dollar bill contains 2.9 to 28.8 micrograms of cocaine, though some bills from 1996 contain up to 1,300. Don’t start rubbing cash on your gums, though. You’d need at least 1,000 of those primo 1996 dollars to make a gram. And a thousand bucks will buy a lot more than that. [LiveScience]

Very soon, and perhaps post (GRD) great republican depression, Americans will be willing to pay even higher prices for basic foods! The American system is bankrupt - food suppliers are corporations ! When they don’t meet payrolls they close! Millions of American urbanites will suddenly be without food when they collapse! The shareholders are probably bankers in China, and don’t really have any humanitarian interest in the consequences! We are soooo f**ked!

Is it just me or… This is the reason why people are “addicted” to money =O
This is interesting news. Maybe they put SMALL AMOUNTS of cocaine in the bills to make us “happier” (thus promoting addiction to money)
Anyone with me? =)
