Tennessee authorities are warning against picking up folded dollar bills of unknown origin after reporting two separate incidents where the synthetic opioid fentanyl was found inside folded cash.
According to the Perry County Sheriff's Office, someone found a folded dollar bill on the floor of a local gas station on both occasions. A "white powdery substance," which later tested positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl, was found inside of the bills.
"This is very dangerous, folks!" the sheriff's office said. "Please share and educate your children to not pick up the money."

THE PERRY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE The sheriff's office said it plans to push for legislation "that would intensify the punishment, if someone is caught using money as a carrying pouch for such poison."
"It enrages me as a father and the Sheriff, that people can act so carelessly and have no regard for others well being," read a statement posted on the sheriff's office Facebook page.
Developed for pain management treatment of cancer patients, fentanyl is up to 100 times stronger than morphine, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. And since 2018, fentanyl-laced pill seizures by law enforcement has increased nearly 50-fold amid a period of record-high overdose deaths, a recent study found.
So don’t go chewing on dollar bills you find laying around.
It can absorb through your skin and 2mg can be fatal.
This is much worse than the coke-dusted bills of the 80s.
I don’t even notice anything smaller than a $100 bill.
Yeah, and if you find a bag with a million dollars in it, call the authorities right away!
Chewing not necessary. This poison can be deadly via casual contact. Frightening situation with evil intent.
“Paper dangerous, AntiChrist Mark only.”
President Retard did that 🤪
I’ve been following this fentanyl thing for some time. The fear porn/gaslighting on the topic is over the top. Tells me there’s an ulterior motive afoot.
Gotta tell ya: It’s quite brilliant if it’s the catalyst to prompt a compulsory move away from cash.
Dirty bastages.
In my last comment I mentioned the fear porn/gaslighting.
It seems you’ve been exposed to something far more dangerous than fentanyl.
Even the CDC states nothing of these myths, yet they are pervasive.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting the links.
Joe did that, you didn’t do it.
No problem.
I only recently pulled my own head out of my backside on the topic, having been unwittingly poisoned - ironically - by the fentanyl fear porn.
If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.
Hmmm...what would be a great crisis to bring in a cashless society?
wow you better learn about fentyanl and how dangerous it is. It absorbs through your skin when you touch it. Just a small amount and I mean small will kill you.
Do some research before you post.
My reaction is “wow, the feds can do this all over and induce the people to clamor for Fedcoin to replace money.”
