Hell Bank Notes are ritual joss paper produced for burning at funerals and ancestral offerings, the idea being that the smoke delivers currency to the deceased in the afterlife. The practice draws on centuries of Chinese folk religion, blending Buddhist and Taoist traditions around the concept of merit transfer. "冥通銀行" translates roughly as "Bank of Hades" or "Infernal Communication Bank" — the name is a direct parody of formal banking institution naming conventions, which is part of the joke and part of the ritual seriousness simultaneously.
On Tai Lung is one of several Hong Kong-based printers supplying this market. These are not legal tender under any jurisdiction and have no numismatic value in the conventional sense, though they attract collectors of exonumia and folk religion ephemera.
