‘This Is Very Dangerous’: If You See Folded Money on the Floor Like This, Do Not Pick It Up—Here’s Why

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat

A shocking public service announcement is warning everyone not to pick up folded money that you might find on the floor in public places such as gas stations.

The paper bills could be lethal envelopes carrying deadly fentanyl, which can kill with just one dose.

The Perry County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee recently found two instances of folded paper bills in gas stations. Inside was a white, powdery substance that tested positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl.

Posting a picture online, the sheriff stated: “This is very dangerous, folks! Please share and educate your children to not pick up the money.

“I personally plan to push for legislation for a bill that would intensify the punishment, if someone is caught using money as a carrying pouch for such poison.”

They added: “It enrages me as a father and the sheriff, that people can act so carelessly and have no regard for others wellbeing, especially a child. I hope we find the ones responsible.”

This potentially deadly find is another symptom of the surge in fentanyl flooding into America from across its southern border in what some analysts are calling an “undeclared war” by China levelled against the United States.

Chemical ingredients shipped in from overseas to Mexico are then processed into fentanyl and smuggled in-country by drug cartels.

Recent months have seen unprecedented volumes of fentanyl seizures. In July, DEA agents seized about 1 million fake pills containing fentanyl in Los Angeles, the largest ever drug seizure in California’s history.

Deaths from the opioid are also reaching new heights. The CDC in November announced that last year’s overdose death toll exceeded 100,000 for the first time ever. In 2020, the yearly number of deaths from fentanyl spiked dramatically to 150 deaths per day in America. Fentanyl has become the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18–45.

Marking a “new paradigm” in America’s opioid crisis, fentanyl distinguishes itself from more “traditional” street drugs—such as crack, heroin, cocaine, and marijuana—as it is capable of killing with one dose. And unlike run-of-the-mill street drugs, fentanyl often assumes the form of pills, fraudulently posing as stamped, regular-looking over-the-counter drugs.

A bag of assorted pills and prescription drugs dropped off for disposal is displayed during the DEA 20th National Prescription Drug Take Back Day at Watts Healthcare on April 24, 2021, in Los Angeles, California. 

Michael Gray from the Actus Foundation, whose daughter died from fentanyl, told The Epoch Times that drug dealers do intentionally introduce lethal doses onto the streets intending to kill, as such deaths, when reported, serve as advertising; lethal doses attract seasoned users. While non-users might die from such doses, long-term addicts, who have built up a tolerance, seek them out.

The recent public service announcement in Tennessee demonstrates that the crisis extends beyond the border and is nationwide, while making it shockingly clear to what extent dealers are willing to go to pump these drugs into circulation.

  1. The Epoch Times leans pretty hard one way, and it’s almost like the National Review

    No disrespect meant!

    This has also been widely debated as to whether mere exposure can cause over dose

    The august 2021 video from SD Sherrifs was widely considered misleading at a minimum

    The video showed a deputy assumedly fainting from contact exposure to fentanyl

    1. You could always put that shit to the test J. Go film yourself touching that fentanyl and get back to us on that. Show us your empirical evidence while being our lab rat. 🤣

  2. Sorry, but this whole thing when it came out was such bullshit... there is NO WAY a dollar bill can carry enough fentanyl to kill a person; regardless of it's strength and the person's tolerance.. or lack of.

    Everyone may want to read the NYPost article titled "Experts question claim of overdosing by touching fentanyl-laced dollar"

    2. You moronic little kids. You can tell you’re kids by the sentence you try to form. You don’t know how your body will react to something we all have different chemistry that makes us unique. So don’t say such silly stupid things. Thank you have a nice school week.

    3. I hate to say it but been around enough addicts and junkies to know that as deadly as that shit is, micro dust on a dollar bill does not equal cyanide.

      Go do your own research; I found enough articles to debunk what MSM does best… serving that horror porn.

    1. I had an old Christian friend, who used to have these Church/Christ pamphlets that looked like a fat wallet with money sticking out… so when you picked it up and opened it you’d be greeted by “Do you know what you are doing? WWJD”

      All the times I would leave them at malls, and watch the countless people get butthurt from the second floor above 😂😂😂

      Me personally, I’d get me a Klondike bar.

    2. There was ones when I was in high school that looked like a folded up 20. I asked the lunch lady for four fives and she gave them to me and put 3fake 20 under the drawer. Then I pissed out and gave it back and told her I was joking and she laughed.

  5. Is that correct, the article says as of November 2022 a total of 100,000 died to overdose in USA?
    But 2022 ended on December 31st.
    Do they go on vacation in all December?

    3. You and everyone you know must be a part of that elite 1% if none of you pick up dollar bills and have "never needed a dollar that bad"..I assume even the kids who live in your extremely lavish town would not dare to bat an eye at anything less than 100 big ones...lucky little devils aren't they.

  7. Back when I was using, grams of coke in a folded dollar bill fueled many nights of bar-hopping. Its easy to lose that small packet.

    2. Exactly and those guys up there in comments said they don’t think enough fentanyl can fit in a folded up dollar bill. You can stuff a lot in a dollar bill.

    3. There was an actual study during the 80s that showed something like 70-80% of all twenties being “contaminated” with coke…

    1. yes, Americans are so fearful, and how do you control fearful people? you make them even more fearful and their biggest problem is that you can't shoot Fent with an AR15.

    2. US NHI says fent killed over 75,000 Americans in 2022.
      Chinese chemicals via friendly cartels, as discussed.
      Local cops can try to use the media, but don't have the resources to do much more than help pick up the corpses and nofity next of kin.
      If you were that kin, would any of this make any sense to you? Would you feel panic?

  11. Fentanyl is so deadly they say. You will die just by looking at it the day. Blah blah blah. Then how these Cartel members worked and transport the product ? I don’t think they walk around with hasmask suits. Something doesn’t add up. Someone is lying more than they should.
