Hell banknotes are not a modern invention — the practice of burning paper offerings for the deceased has roots in Tang Dynasty China, when paper effigies substituted for the actual goods once buried with the dead. The "Bank of Hades" imprint is a 20th-century formalization of that tradition, giving the notes a quasi-official appearance that mirrors real currency closely enough to carry symbolic weight in the ritual.
The denomination is irrelevant in any practical sense — hell notes are produced in denominations ranging from a few yuan to billions, with no issuing authority, no redemption mechanism, and no consistency between manufacturers.
