As long as moist cocaine doesn't contain trace amounts of dirty money, it's fine.
(It does so it's not fine.)
Well, well done, western leaders for trying to stop us using currency and move to traceable electronic funds. They're only looking after us. Bless.
And now it's time to learn how to extract cocaine from paper currency
I thought the goal was to extract paper currency from cocaine. Have I been doing this wrong?
We've been doing that for decades, time for something new.
Weird way to describe a drug dealer.
Wait....is this some kinda attempt to combat inflation
I can't remember the last time I handled paper currency
Oof, thanks for telling me how easy it is to buy your spending habits
The key word there was paper. As opposed to plastic, which is what they use for notes in Australia...
That’s because you were high on cocaine.
I didn't think that could happen just from licking the notes!
You're not from Germany then. We love our Bargeld so much that we feel helpless without trace amounts of currency in our wallets.
Yes, but mostly because there are still shops and restaurants who only accept cash
I said paper currency, not currency! I’ve handled plenty of cash, it’s just not made of paper
I see, you used Romanian Leu, which is made of plastic! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banknotes_of_the_Romanian_leu#Banknotes_of_the_fourth_leu_(RON)
Australian dollars are also plastic
Canadian dollars are plastic and contain pictures of things like a spaceship arm and a research vessel. Where are all the pictures of the illuminati?!?!?
Must not work POS, cash is flowing like mad all the time. Cards are more prevalent now but cash is still king
Plenty of cash, it’s just not made of paper!
Ahh you must be from a somewhat sane part of the world...
US money is made from mostly cotton. Thanks to Inside Man with Denzel and Clive for making me remember this bit of trivia.
Such a good movie. I should watch it again soon.
One of my friends blew his nose into some money once. I wouldn't snort drugs off money. Seems like a great way to get a weird nasal infection.
Sometimes I need to wipe my face after a meal and have no napkins so I use money
My friends and I often staple cash to ourselves. I have no idea how infections aren't more common. Every now and then a piece will actually get stuck under the skin.
I've been trying to move more towards tarot cards since they're cleaner
