CHINESE HELLBANKNOTE

CHINESE HELLBANKNOTE.

 NOT REAL MONEY - BUT READ INTERESTING HISTORY!

In some Chinese mythology, Hell Bank Notes are sent by living relatives to dead ancestors as a tribute to the King Yanluo for a shorter stay or to escape punishment, or for the ancestors to use themselves in spending on lavish items in the afterlife.

Hell money notes is a modern form of spirit money. The word "hell" may have been derived from:

1. What was preached by Christian missionaries, which told the Chinese that non-Christians go to hell when they die.
2. A translation of the word "hell" that matches the pre-existing Chinese concept of "underground hold/court," which in Taoist cosmology had been considered the initial destination of the soul of the dead regardless of his or her virtue during life.

Hell money notes are known for their outrageous denominations ranging from $10,000 to $5,000,000,000. The bills feature an image of the Jade Emperor on the front and the "headquarters" of the Bank of Hell on the back. Another common feature is the signature of both the Jade Emperor and the King of Hell.
