1 Million Dollars - Hell Bank Note

Hell bank notes are ceremonial joss paper burned as offerings in Chinese, Vietnamese, and other East Asian funeral traditions, with the intention that the smoke carries wealth to deceased ancestors in the afterlife. The practice has pre-modern roots but the heavily dollar-influenced designs — complete with fictitious issuing authorities and the "Bank of Hell" or "Hell Bank Corporation" branding — emerged largely in the twentieth century as a conscious visual parody of Western currency, particularly U.S. Federal Reserve notes.

The signatory names "Yan Loon" and "Yu Wong" are a standing joke embedded in the design: roughly translating as "King of Hell" and "Jade Emperor," the two supreme figures of the underworld in Chinese folk religion.
