Just watched a DEA show and of course they found the stash house of a small drug empire in NYC.
They found over $1Mill in the house. Of course the cameras were there for the show but it got me thinking.. would you take some?
I sure as hell would. Hands down. Three or four big bundles of money and in the trunk of the squad car before we call it in. Whats the big deal? Its DRUG DEALERS money. Seems ok to me.
And for those visual kinds among us:

That pic has nothing to to with anything. Its just to give an idea. Replacing with pic of money that doesn't look so fake.
edit: Woo, after looking at all that money, I'd call in nothing! "Sir, we didnt find no money. Well, back to pulling over Scion's."

Well, where does all this confiscated money go after the trial? I do hope the police agencys get to keep it. It should be awarded as bonuses. Like an incentive.
got news for you, those aren't fake billz.
my dad is a hardcore coin and paper money collector. he showed me this really old $5 dollar bill he bought from somebody because they thought it was counterfeit because the serial number was in red ink, and as we all know, money these days has green ink for the serial number.
my dad knew it wasn't fake because 1. he is aware that older US paper money used red ink, and 2. nobody makes counterfeit $5 dollar bills. and that in order for a good counterfeit operation to even be profitable, they have to make $100 dollar bills. so the chances of you finding a high quality counterfeit bill under $100 are extremely minimal.

the money is probably held as evidence until trial, and then once the trial is over, is probably recovered either into the agency's operating budget or taken and distributed by the treasury department.
