30 years or so ago I was working as a bank teller; one of the seminars the Treasury Department/Secret Service put on for us regarding spotting counterfeit bills mentioned that (back then!) 80% of all bills of $20 demonimation and larger had detectable traces of drug residue on them.
I see no reason whatsoever for that to be any different today.
As far as cash on hand, my grandparents cashed every Social Security check they ever received (starting in 1968), put it into a small envelope every month with the amount penciled on it, and filed it in a strongbox in their closet. After their passing, there was a *remarkable* amount of money in there. That was what they used for their 'ready cash reserve' rather than writing checks for cash against their bank account, which was nothing to sneeze at, either.
