China: 'Hell Currency'-a Hell bank note-bearing an image of a Buddhist temple, lotus and swastika used in ancestor worship in traditional Chinese society.

Hell bank notes are a form of joss paper printed to resemble modern bank notes. Hell bank notes are not an official currency or legal tender anywhere in this world. They are intended to be burnt in Chinese ancestor veneration. Hell bank notes are known for their large denominations, ranging from $10,000 to several billions, and usually bear an image of the Jade Emperor, the presiding monarch of heaven in Daoism, with his signature (romanized as Yu Wong, or Yuk Wong) and the signature of Yanluo, King of Hell. There is usually an image of the Bank of Hell on the back of the bill.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Los billetes de banco del infierno son una forma de papel impreso para parecerse a los billetes de banco modernos. Los billetes del Hell Bank no son moneda oficial ni moneda de curso legal en ningún lugar del mundo. Están destinados a ser quemados en veneración a los antepasados chinos. Los billetes del Hell Bank son conocidos por sus grandes denominaciones, que van desde 10.000 dólares hasta varios miles de millones, y normalmente llevan una imagen del Emperador de Jade, el monarca presidente del cielo en el taoísmo, con su firma (romanizada como Yu Wong o Yuk Wong) y el Firma de Yanluo, Rey del Infierno. Suele haber una imagen del Banco del Infierno en el reverso del billete.
