100 000 - Hell Bank Note

Hell bank notes are ritual paper currency burned at funerals and ancestral ceremonies throughout the Chinese diaspora, intended to transfer wealth to the deceased in the afterlife. They are not legal tender, never were, and have no monetary status under any jurisdiction. The "Bank of Heaven and Hell" branding is a modern commercial convention with no single issuing authority — the notes are manufactured by numerous paper goods suppliers, primarily in Hong Kong and mainland China, and the denominations are entirely fictitious.

Collectors occasionally acquire them as curiosities, but they fall outside the scope of numismatic cataloging in any meaningful sense.
