Four out of nine bills tested positive for cocaine.
WFSB-TV said it collected ones, fives, a $10 bill and a $20 bill from a grocery store, a coffee shop and a gas station and turned the money over to Fred Smith at the University of New Haven for cocaine-exposure testing, the station reported Tuesday.
Smith said his equipment was designed to detect amounts of as little as 50 nanograms of the drug. He said one nanogram is about the size of a pinhead split into 1 million pieces.
He said four of the nine bills given to him by WFSB tested positive for cocaine exposure.
"The drug likes to stick to the fibers in money, and passes easily from bill to bill," Smith said. "It's virtually impossible to get high from the amount that's on the bills."
He said the drug also sticks to other common objects.
"We're probably touching objects contaminated with cocaine every day without knowing it," Smith said.

Smile! Get A Ticket, Get Your Picture Taken, Too
If you get pulled over by the police in Ormond Beach, Florida you'd better smile.
"An officer has the capability of taking a picture of the driver the vehicle and where the violation occurred," said Sgt. Jamie Gogarty of the Ormond Beach Police Department.
If a driver tried to fight an expensive ticket, police could use these pictures in court. The devices also cut down on the time it takes cops to write a ticket. The machines read drivers' licenses, instantly get driver information and a portable printer prints the tickets.
Some drivers question why police need pictures of speeders. "(I'd feel) my privacy was invaded," said Peggy Nardone. "I wouldn't feel safe. How do I know what they're going to do with that picture now?"
Ormond Beach police said the pictures gives them more evidence in court and even protects drivers whose cars might have been used without their knowledge. "If you don't have anything to hide, you shouldn't mind a picture being correlated with your identity," said Patrice Stoves. In three months, the city has only had one complaint.
The Florida Highway Patrol also started using the ticket writers this month but troopers do not take pictures so far.
