Hell Bank notes are Chinese-American funerary paper, burned as offerings so the deceased can spend the money in the afterlife. This particular piece — denominated at one million and bearing Eisenhower's image — belongs to a wave of novelty "hell money" that began appearing in overseas Chinese communities and American Chinatowns from roughly the 1960s onward, blending traditional joss paper customs with Western iconographic shorthand for wealth and prestige.
The "冥通銀行" imprint translates loosely as Bank of Hades. Not a financial institution in any sense — the name exists purely to signal ritual legitimacy.
