Hell Bank notes — also called "ghost money" or "joss paper" — are ceremonial items burned during Chinese funerary rites and festivals such as the Qingming and Hungry Ghost observances. The practice of burning paper offerings for the deceased predates printed banknotes by centuries, but the Bank of Hell format, mimicking real currency complete with serial numbers and official-looking seals, became widespread in the twentieth century largely through Hong Kong manufacturers supplying diaspora communities worldwide.
