In a series of experiments, conducted by scienctists from the University of Minnesota's Carleton School of Management, people who counted money felt less pain when their hands were dipped into scalding water. The soothing power of cash also helped them shrug off the emotional pain of social exclusion.
The findings might offer a way to ease life's stings and hurts, from painful medical treatments to social ostracism: simply flip through a bulging wallet before enduring a painful experience.

Maybe it has something to do with all of the cocaine residue that has been found on our currency? I read an article that said our money had traces of cocaine on every denomination tested.
Yes, in a 2009 study it said that nearly nine out of ten bills are tainted with cocaine.
