Joss paper currency occupies a genuinely odd space in any serious catalog — it is neither legal tender nor a collector banknote in the conventional sense, yet it circulates, gets handled, and ends up in collections worldwide. These notes are manufactured en masse in the Pearl River Delta region for ritual burning at funerals and ancestral offerings, the logic being that incinerated wealth transfers to the deceased in the afterlife. The "Hell Bank" branding is a Western transliteration artifact; the Chinese concept is closer to the underworld treasury of Chinese folk religion than to any infernal connotation.
The "Heaven Bank Note" label on some versions reflects a post-1990s marketing pivot aimed partly at export buyers uncomfortable with the word "Hell."
