I would imagine that there could be all sorts of "nasties" on coins But I doubt that there would be traces of drugs on them :ok:

I think its US money that has been tested and it found that 90% or so had traces of cocaine.

Here's the Snopes article confirming the myth that a large percentage of American paper money bears traces of cocaine. However, several things ought to be pointed out.

The myth is about American paper money. I suspect the drugs don't stick so well to our polymer notes and if they do, the stuff just washes right off. Coins are likewise immune from drug adherence.

Most positive-testing notes are contaminated with "second-hand drugs" rather than having been directly used in illicit drug use - in other words, a single "dirty" note fed into a note counter-sorter can contaminate every other note fed into the machine.

Finally, the amounts detectable are very, very small. The veracity of this myth has more to do with our modern technological ability to detect the faintest traces of these substances, rather than the pervasiveness of drug use in our modern culture.
