The Romans taxed urine. It was used for bleaching clothes and was a useful source of revenue.

It led to the quote "Does money smell?" by an Emperor holding up a coin gained from the tax on urine.

Of course, now money does smell. A trained sniffer dog can detect drug residue on banknotes even if the notes have been through several hands since they were handled by a drug user. Someone has worked out that at least 30% of current larger-denomination banknotes can produce drug residues when tested in a laboratory.

so, one could be body- and bag- searched at an airport if the banknotes I was carrying had been tainted with drugs?

Why I never carry personal stashes of dope on planes.

Yes. And if you are carrying any substantial amount of cash, nearly one third of it is likely to show traces of drugs, even if you are a little old lady who doesn't know a drug from talcum powder.
