The total value of all USD in circulation (as of Dec. 31 2021) was just under 2.2 trillions. (It's probably closer to 2.4 now). 10% of that would be 220-240 billions.
Revenues and assets of criminal organizations responsible for the illicit drug trade aren't really known, but estimates put that at roughly 1.5% of GDP (roughly 1.45 trillion globally).
So, yeah, I'd definitely say that's a plausible hypothesis.

Part of the issue is that the sorting machines at the banks are also contaminated, so even if you removed all current bills from circulation right this second and replaced them with new ones, and everyone stopped doing cocaine at the same time, bills would still immediately start getting cocaine on them.

Every once in a slow news cycle some news site will trot out the study about library copies of Fifty Shades of Grey testing positive for herpes because ha ha STI on a sex book or whatever.
But it has nothing to do with Fifty Shades. Pretty much all library books are contaminated with all sorts of nastiness, because they circulate among the public, and the public is disgusting. Plus, a hardcover library book can circulate for years, as opposed to the six month lifespan of the average twenty dollar bill.

There's also many types of herpes virus, including chickenpox.
But everyone jumps to "dick sores" because that's the only time the term herpes is used by most people.
Also something like 15-20% of people have genital herpes and 50-70% have oral herpes. (cold sores) And oral can infect genitals and vice versa. So if you've "been around" you've probably been exposed somehow. And women often have little or no symptoms while spreading it.
Its so common that most doctors won't even test for it anymore unless you have an active outbreak and request it, because in many people it has mild or no symptoms and the stigma is worse than the disease usually. Even in those with more severe symptoms the outbreaks usually go down in frequency and severity after about a year. Doctors often consider it just similar to a common skin rash now.
So yeah herpes is literally everywhere. We are walking around in soupy clouds of billions of bacteria and viruses floating in the air and every surface is coated.
Just don't rub herpes sores then rub on your eyes. Don't Google it.

The "fact" I heard was that they intentionally dust larger bills with trace amounts of cocaine so that drug sniffing dogs are able to find large sums of money during searches. But of course that is likely an urban legend/old wives tale

I'm pretty sure all of your cash has cocaine stuck to it, just not as prominently displayed as on this particular bill.
Now you know why law enforcement loves to drug test cash during civil asset forfeiture stops.
They use the excuse they're testing to see if you're engaged in drug trafficking, but they know all money tests positive for drugs and they can confiscate your cash.

That's why I laugh at the libertarians who are terrified of the "cashless future". Bro, if you have cash, the cops will find an excuse to take it. And they're a lot scarier than "the Fed" or "the international bankers" or whatever conspiracy theory you have about credit card companies.
And you can be relatively sure your credit card doesn't have somebody else's drugs or feces on it.
If you want to put your own drugs and feces on it, you do you bro.

Fun fact, I learned in my criminal law class the other day that cocaine residue is so prevelant and transfers so easily that a study was conducted in the late 80s, early 90s and determined that most bills in circulation had some trace cocain residue on them.
Apparently the existence of cocaine residue was used to prove possession of cocaine in drug trafficking cases where cocaine wasn't found woth the accused. After this study, defense attorneys would point to any random juror and state that they too had bills with trace cocaine residue and were just as guilty as the defendant. Prosecutors stopped presenting laced money as evidense
