Cocaine Dollars
Science Buzz American dollars contain a higher concentration of cocaine than any other currency. The average US dollar bill contains between 2.9 to 28.8 micrograms of cocaine, but some bills from 1996 contained up to 1,600 micrograms. We probably could have guessed that based on this graph of drug use by country.
