Description
Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 - August 4, 1962) Hell money is paper printed to resemble legal tender bank notes. These notes are not officially recognized currency or legal tender. The sole intended purpose is to be offered as burnt-offerings to the deceased. This faux money has been in use for centuries. Early20th century examples took the resemblance of minor commercial currency of the type issued by businesses across China until the mid-1940s. Hundreds of years ago the priests of the East told the relatives of the recently departed to bury their loved ones with coins to be used in the after-life. Once the tradition was well establies, it was noticed that some priests were looting the money-laden graves, so some substitute had to be found and paper “Hell Notes” were the answer. With this, the dead could rest in peace next to International sex Goddes Marilyn Monroe. These Christmas colored “Hell Notes” are written in both Chinese and English
