Cocaine in Spain Stays Mainly on the Bills
Where: Spain
We don't do this, of course, but some people like to get some illegal snorting pleasures on their travels. And new statistics show that Spain is a surprisingly good destination for this practice: a recent study suggested that traces of cocaine are present on 94% of banknotes in Spain.
Whether the study is totally legit or not is not quite clear; all the notes tested were collected from supermarkets, gyms and pharmacies, with the latter two suggesting some kind of bias. And there's some suggestion that not all the notes were used to snort cocaine--some bills could've just picked it up off other bills, kind of like catching a cold. But the Spanish daily El Mundo has publicized all this widely, so we think perhaps it's some kind of tourism campaign. Already it's known that Colombian smugglers love to use Spain as an entry point to Europe, but perhaps more tourists are needed. "Come to where the cash ain't clean" sounds like a suitable slogan.
