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. Early 20th century examples took the resemblance of minor commercial currency of the type issued by businesses across China until the mid-1940s. 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. The identification of this type of joss paper as \"hell bank notes\" or \"hell money\" and singling them out is largely a western phenomenon, since these items are simply regarded as yet another form of joss paper (, , , or ) in East Asian cultures and have no special name or status.
