What do you think of when you see money accidentally falling on the street? Everyone must have fallen into an inner conflict at least once as to whether to pick it up or pretend not to know. At least in the US it’s better not to pick it up.
Because just one dollar can lead to the temptation of death.
According to NBC News on the 16th local time, the Tennessee State Sheriff’s Office announced through Facebook that drugs such as fentanyl are being found one after another in a one-dollar bill that has recently been folded to the floor.
I also forgot to tell them not to touch the money.
A person who picked up a dollar bill that had fallen on the floor of a local gas station unfolded the folded bill to reveal an unidentified white powder, which authorities analyzed revealed to be the drugs methamphetamine and fentanyl.
A few days later, fentanyl was found on a $10 bill found folded on the road.
Methamphetamine is a powerful stimulant and is known as ‘Methamphetamine’ in Korea.
Fentanyl is a narcotic drug with an analgesic effect 50 times that of heroin and 100 times that of morphine.
The Sheriff’s Office requested that “these banknotes are very dangerous, especially to educate your children not to pick them up.”
Then, “Please share this fact with your family and acquaintances,” and “Be careful of the bills you see often in companies and playgrounds.”
There is also speculation that someone was using this money as a means of transporting drugs to escape police crackdowns about the drug in the folded banknote.
The sheriff’s office added, “We plan to push for a bill that strengthens penalties if someone is caught using money as a drug pouch.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 150 people die every day in the United States from overdose of opioids such as fentanyl.
