Polish border guards intercepted a Ukrainian woman attempting to enter Poland with $10,000 in cash, including a $100 bill that showed radiation levels 1,905 times above the permissible norm. The woman claimed the money was intended for purchasing a car, but authorities refused her entry into Poland. The incident raises concerns about the source and handling of the contaminated currency, though it is not reported if other banknotes were contaminated with anthrax or mercury.
