Study says dollar bills are contaminated with BPA

Urchins and paupers, rejoice! You don’t have to worry about the results of a new study claiming that paper money and receipts are covered with bisphenol A, the chemical used to make clear plastic.

BPA has been linked with a Pandora’s box of plagues, including cancer, hormone-disruption, obesity and early-onset puberty. Earlier studies have even suggested that BPA could be bad for your wang. Now, researchers from two nonprofit consumer advocacy groups have discovered BPA on 95 percent of the dollar bills they tested.
