Can they pull a fingerprint off a dollar bill or are there too many on it too tell which one belongs to who?

Yes, and yes. :) Yes, I can pull prints off of money, but yes, there are often overlapping prints, or simply large stains from where so many people handled it. It's always worth a try though! Good question! :)

Yes, they definitely can. There are also different amounts of oils on everyone's fingers, leading to darker fingerprints, or lighter ones.

a fingerprint would have to be clear and not smudged. now the cops have "touch dna". everytime we touch something we leave some dna behind. that would mean a gloveless hand.
