Hell Bank notes are used in funeral ceremonies in many far-eastern countries to provide money and goods in the afterlife for the dead person. The term "hell" just designates the place where the dead go, and does not carry the negative connotations that it does in the Christian world. Wide varieties of notes have been produced, and make an interesting and inexpensive area to collect. These multi-color currency style notes have collected from China and Vietnam. It includes both traditional style notes exchangeable for goods in the afterlife and modern.
I have been collecting hell notes for more than 50 years. I have thousands of duplicates... I am always interested to swap or buy. For any note I do not have I can give 10 or 20 different ones.. Erwin Beyer, my e-mail is Pornpattana.Beyer@t-online.de
