Hell money is a form of joss paper — votive currency burned as offerings so that the deceased may spend it in the afterlife. The practice blends traditional Chinese ancestor veneration with a pragmatic afterlife economy: burn it here, the recipient spends it there. The denomination arms inflation on the other end; why send 10 dollars when you can send 100,000?
These are not legal tender, never were, and no bank backs them. The "Heaven and Hell Bank" is a fiction created entirely for ritual purposes, though Hong Kong printmakers have long produced them as a small commercial cottage industry sold through temple goods shops.
