[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 666687, member: 39"]Not really. ;) Here in the euro area we have €1 and €2 circulation coins (currently $1.40 and $2.80), and yet our notes (€5 and above) have quite a bit of cocaine too. Here is an article in English about this: [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6208877.stm[/url] (from late 2006). Yes, there may be excellent reasons for getting rid of the rag dollar - but not because of those cocaine traces ... Note that, as in the US, there are regional differences within the euro area, as far as the amount of cocaine per note is concerned. Quite a bit of that "contamination" is indeed due to counting and sorting machines. Christian[/QUOTE]
