    In reality it was actual cash money. He couldn’t use banks due to his money being gained through illegal means. He had stacks of money just laying around so much he couldn’t really secure it. Columbia is generally warm and humid so a lot of pests like rats and insects. I heard he was spending around 10k a week just on rubber bands to wrap the money into stacks of a thousands.

    If you don’t know he made most of his money by selling cocaine though.

              Yeah, sand definitely is much harder than teeth (which in a normal vertebrate are based on apatite, at a Mohs hardness of 5). If it’s abrasion, that explains a bit, although it’s going to be much slower than an actual cutting action. A quick search indicates cement is at Mohs 5-7, so you theoretically could chew through an unusually soft sample.

                It absolutely abrades the teeth faster than the cement, but rats are very social creatures. The point is that the Tupperware doesn’t stand a chance against even a single rat.
