Ever heard the rumor that nearly every $20 bill in circulation has detectible residual cocaine on it? In other worlds, the probability that a bill has been involved in a drug deal approaches 1 over increasing timespans.

Interesting anecdote, but not really super informative.

Notes having cocaine on them doesn't show they've been involved in a drug deal. More likely someone rolled one up to snort the drug and then when it went through a sorting machine it got cocaine on to the machine and then many other notes.
