Money is part cotton and linen Lasts about 18 months Federal Reserve checks and removes bills from system
Japan has money laundering services…literally…in ATM machines. High temperatures kill most bacteria. Bacteria is found on all bills in circulation.
DRUGS NOT BUGS ARE ON OUR BILLS Greater than 90% contamination rate of dollar, 5’s, 10’s and 20’s with cocaine.
Technique used to identify substances on bills is typically gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.
This technique is used in toxicology tests for over 2 billion substances. Most drug tests are performed with this technology.
The technology is a combination of two techniques. The gas chromatograph separates materials and identifies the chemical groups to which they belong, primarily, by atomic mass.
The mass spectrometer identifies the substance by its chemical composition, structure and its atomic mass.
