Hell money — sometimes called ghost money or spirit money — is a form of joss paper burned as an offering during Chinese funerary rites and festivals such as the Hungry Ghost Festival, intended to provide the deceased with wealth in the afterlife. The "Bank of Hades" branding, complete with branch address in the underworld, is a twentieth-century commercial elaboration on a folk tradition with roots stretching back to Tang Dynasty China. The notes are not legal tender in any jurisdiction and carry no monetary value — their entire function is combustion.
Hong Kong emerged as the dominant production hub for export-grade hell money from the mid-twentieth century onward, supplying diaspora communities across Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe.
