Well I see someone **** out the word that described the note. I didn't put it there to be disrespectful, it is the actual name of the note. Here is a description of the bank note:
Hell bank notes are 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.[1] The notes are not an officially recognized currency or legal tender since their sole intended purpose are burnt-offerings to the deceased as often practiced by the Chinese and several East Asian cultures.

Ok, I see the computer removes the word before it can be seen! the four letter word is the opposite of heaven!!! Perhaps that will help you figure out what it says.

I've seen these joss notes at a chinese grocery and always wondered what the fake money was for. Thanks to you I know now :) very pretty collection I love asian items fan and watching.

Thank you for the explanation. It had me baffled. So these notes could pass the Listia censors as 'not-heaven-bound-notes'
hello-minus-O-notes?
Banco del Infierno Note?

I like your auction very much. Thank you.
