The Giles County Sheriff's department said the folded money may contain deadly drugs.
A sheriff in Tennessee urged people to not pick up folded dollar bills they may find because his department recently tested some that were positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl. .Giles County Sheriff’s Department
said on social media that his office has investigated two recent incidents where a folded dollar bill was found on the floor at a gas station. “When it was found and picked up, the person discovered a white powdery substance inside. The substance was later tested and was positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl.”
Even a very small amount of fentanyl - far smaller than the size of a penny - is enough to kill anyone, the sheriff said alongside a photo of a penny with a lethal amount of the drug. This is [a] very dangerous issue. Please share and educate your children to not pick up any folded money they may find in or around businesses, playgrounds, etc., without using great caution and even alerting a parent or guardian.”, “Milligram per milligram, fentanyl is roughly 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine.”
