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.”
