So scientists in Antwerp decided to test a bunch of library books. In particular, 50 shades of grey had traces of cocaine and also the herpes virus on it.

From what I've heard, cocaine is a very "sticky" molecule in that if something comes in contact with an object bearing traces of cocaine, some of it WILL transfer. A study some years back (forgot where I read it) examined a large amount of U.S. currency obtained from various sources (including bank machines), and roughly 90% had traces of cocaine.

Of course, I've also heard of cases where law enforcement searched someone, found a quantity of cash, and when the cash was found to have traces of cocaine it was confiscated since "the presence of cocaine was proof that the person had obtained it through illegal means".
