John F. Kennedy Hell Bank Note


As Wikipedia explains, "Hell money is a form of joss paper printed to resemble legal tender bank notes. This faux money has been in use since at least the late 19th century and possibly much earlier....The notes are not an officially recognized currency or legal tender since their sole intended purpose is to be offered as burnt-offerings to the deceased as often practiced by the Chinese and several East Asian cultures."

Alan Mays club has replied to FormicaAs far as I know, this is real hell money. Wikipedia says that some of these notes depict "famous people who are deceased, such as U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Albert Einstein, and Marilyn Monroe." I've never seen ones with Einstein or Monroe, however.
