Banknotes get passed between people hundreds and thousands of times, so is it any surprise that by the end of it they’re going to be all covered in gunk? A German guy decided to find out just how much of that gunk is cocaine – the answer? Enough to score at least $60 if you sold it at a local uni (not to give you any ideas).
The basic idea of a centrifuge is that all the particles detach from the bank notes due to the sheer force (in this case, 2000 G-force), and all the little specks collect at the bottom. Apparently 90% of all Euro banknotes contain traces of cocaine, an average of 0.4 micrograms per note. This guy managed to prise the coke from the notes, along with a whole splattering of dirt. Everyone loves some dirt mixed in with their cocaine though, so prepare for this trend to hit markets real soon.
