Hell Bank Notes are votive paper money burned during Chinese funeral rites and festivals such as Qingming and Hungry Ghost — the idea being that the smoke carries wealth to deceased ancestors in the afterlife. The "Hell Bank" name is a Western mistranslation of a concept closer to "Bank of Hades" or "Underworld Bank"; the Chinese term carries no negative connotation. These items have no monetary value in any legal or numismatic sense, but they circulate freely among collectors of exonumia and novelty paper.
The $300,000 face value is purely theatrical — denominations in this genre routinely run into the billions.
