I always told my children to wash their hands after handling money because they don't know where it has been. My usual examples were a stripper's g-string or a coke fiend's nose. Until today, I never knew about poop dollar -- it shall be added to my repertoire.

Urban Dictionary: poop dollar
They did something similar in the first Mighty Ducks movie: filled a pocket book with poop, left it on the street with a dollar hanging out and then watched as a man picked it up and reached in.

Some of the people have stated the father looks Hispanic. News12 tends to avoid doing anything that will paint the Hispanic population in a negative light.

The ones I saw in Farmindale by Walmart looked more "gypsy" like similar to someone posted previously. The man was darker skinned but the woman was very colorful.
