[edit] ripoff - typical

Half of this article was copy-pasted from the site linked at the bottom of the page, and the rest was lifted from another site elsewhere on the web. Typical wikipedia trash. Wikipedia + Google = worst things to ever happen to the internet.

"I agree. This site has also become to much like a networking site, & there have been far to many flame wars to call it an 'Ecylopedia'. They realy should raise the standerds and have set registration for edits" Roxanne Edits 17:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Different serial numbers

The article states all Hell Notes have the serial number JO23456. I have a $10,000 greenback with the serial number KO23688, and the note on top of this stack appears to have Chinese symbols for its serial. I've removed the note on serials becuase of this. boffy_b 23:13, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] X-Files episode.

There is also an X-Files episode entitled Hell Money. Should there be a note somewhere mentioning this, or is it not of enough value? (This same message is on the redirect page for Hell Money, which links to here. - Zepheus 19:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese-style hell money

This article should also talk about the hell money made in traditional Chinese banknotes style... my grandpa burned those sort for my grandma and AFAIK the store he bought these from sold just the Chinese sort. -- Миборовский 21:08, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the comment on hyperinflation for being condescending. Its about as fair as suggesting that the communion implies that Jesus was into cannibalism.

[edit] No merge

Joss paper is not the same as hell money. There are joss paper dolls and all the "gods material shops" objects that has nothing to do with hell bank note. Benjwong 21:36, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hell banknotes in the Philippines

here in the Philippines, plenty of hell bank notes have a face of Qin Shi Huang in it. A-yao 10:19, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

There are alot of chinese in the Philippines or part chinese.162.83.159.188 (talk) 23:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Origins?

It would be good to include some information about the history of Hell Bank Notes. When and where were they first created ? When did the designs start aping US currency? What (if anything) did they look like before that ? --Gene_poole 06:25, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
