>Well many drug adicts use "vouchers" or tokens in exchange for drug money. e.g they may get food stamps worth, say, $30, but they can't buy other than food with them, so certain nefarious people might buy the vouchers off them for, say, $20 - a bit like fencing money.


If you hv trhrown billion in vouchers into projects/councel houses
areas maybe, but mid-eastern Muslims and drugs don't fare very well together.
Instead, menu of them in Iraq wld readilly purchase guns with it if possible!

Idea with vouchers was not bad actually in Baghdad case.
Selling building material for vouchers, pay contactors etc.
No Cash not so ever!
When cash is thrown like this, then nobody can guarantee what it has been used for. Today's police or government employee in Iraq, can be tmrw insurgent leader loaded with (cash) money.

You can just hope that money has been stollen by ordinary Crooks&Thieves.
