The hunt for "radioactive dollars" Jan 25, 9:49 AM (ET) ALMATY (Reuters) - Kazakhstan is on a nationwide hunt for dozens of "radioactive dollars" circulating in the country's financial system. The Kazakh central bank said in a letter to financial institutions the radiation level of the U.S. dollar notes was 100 times above normal. A Kazakh citizen brought them into the country in November, it said. "(The dollars) pose a direct threat to people's health," said the letter, obtained by Reuters Wednesday. Officials urged banks and exchange bureaux to redouble efforts to find the notes by checking the serial numbers. It was not clear how the money, nearly $4,000 in 100-dollar and 50-dollar bills, got contaminated. The Soviet Union used Kazakhstan, a vast Central Asian state, the for many decades as a testing ground for nuclear weapons after it detonated its first plutonium bomb in 1949. |

I might also be concerned with what the money purchased. |

My wife would jump right up to the diamonds if she could get me to go along with it. To the Chinese nothing is ever settled or negotiated and all things are constantly on the table.
