I vaguely recall this happening as a joke in some form of media but all I’m getting are statistics about currency being contaminated with cocaine when searching for it online.
Edit: My dad wants to buy scuba equipment but doesn’t know where to buy it or what size he is for a lot of it so I was going to write “For scuba equipment not for drugs” on one of the bills as a joke for his Christmas present.
Not sure where it’s from but I’ve received a bill like that from someone I really cared about a long time ago when I had a bit of a serious drinking problem. I was also homeless at the time.
The $20 bill said, “Not for alcohol,” on it. And the look in their eyes pleaded, “please.”
When I was at the liquor store that evening and I went to pay I didn’t have enough unless I spent that $20. I picked something different and used that money for food that night.
I’d like to say that was the first step in me getting sober but it was a few years later when I finally quit drinking.
6 years sober now.
I really wish I could remember their face.
Really glad it sounds like you’re doing better. Good job, Gormadt.

So good to hear you’re doing better.
You may be thinking of Scarface. When Tony Montana exchanges dollars for pesos 🤷♂️
Searching online points to the movie Drillbit Taylor maybe being where this came from, but I have not seen it to confirm.
I think that might be it! I definitely saw that movie a few years ago.
Nice detective work

Makes perfect sense to me
Weak stomach.
Fair enough. It’s a bit of a weird wordy situation to explain
Could be related to the Aussie movie Two Hands, where some drug money has a picture of a gun drawn on it? Only one I can think of right now where money has somat written on it.
That and the tooth fairy sticker on the fiver in that Bluey episode, I guess.
