    It was an illegal money, made by conning

    Explanation:

    At the end of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the slave Kim was freed by Huck Finn, making him, finally, a free man.

    However, he was tricked by two con men they met along the journey, and sold back into captivity for 40 dollars, making him a slave once again. The money is dirty because he comes from a con and was made by selling a human being as property when the seller had no right to do it in the first place, even taking into account the slave culture at the time.
