Let's talk dirty or money

 Will you be very happy if you run into a box of cool cash like this one?

But if you find out that you cannot enjoy this cash until you have died.........   

This box of cash looks like U.S. Dollars but actually is a version of Underworld currency or "joss paper money" for the dead.  This offering of joss paper money to the deceased is popular among Chinese in Southeast Asia.   

The $10,000 currency above is issued by the "Hell Bank" with the portrait of the Underworld Emperor.  It beats the $500 denomination of U.S. Dollar joss paper money with Ben Franklin portrait by 20 times.  

In 2009, I had written about underworld currency:

With online marketing, there are competitions in Underworld U.S. Dollar joss paper money.  You may go to AliExpress website to check.

There are denominations of US$100 to 1 Million in the joss paper money section of AliExpress.  For  US$5, you can get 250 pieces of US$1M denomination joss paper money issued by Heaven-Hell Bank. Five real U.S.  dollars for 250M of underworld U.S. Dollars!  What a deal made in hell! 

There are also 5000 British pounds and 50,000 Euro denomination of joss paper money.

With different underworld currencies, the dead now can have their own FOREX trading to keep them busy.

Now comes to the million dollar questions:

• Do our deceased love ones really receive the joss paper money that we offer to them?
• If the answer is "yes", do these "money" worth much in underworld given the arbitrary value assigned.
• If the answer is "no" or "no idea", what purpose does burning joss paper money serve?

From the perspective of the living (us!),  this approach shows our remembrance, love and care to the deceased provides peace, emotional balance and even redemption to us regardless whether the deceased receive the offering or not.

From the perspective of the deceased (assuming souls of the deceased continue to live on),  this show of remembrance, love and care from the living love ones is what counts most.  The amount of offering and value of joss paper become insignificant.  After all, the living project the material needs and desires on this earth to the spiritual world, which may not be true or needed.

My Daoist Sifu (teacher) told me when preparing joss paper for offering,  make sure the love ones of the deceased touch all the joss paper money or fold the paper gold nuggets,  to imprint their qi or energy on the paper.  This energy is what makes the deceased feel comfort and loved.

Hell does not take American Express, but it takes ....

When Chinese make offerings to their deceased relatives or hungry ghosts, they burn "joss paper money" for the ghosts to spend in the underworld.

Traditionally, this joss paper money carries the portrait of Emperor Yin Niu or "King of Hell" with a minimum denomination of 10 thousand dollars.

Recently I discover that in Taiwan, they have new "hell currencies".  These are:
1.  $500 US dollars with Ben Franklin's portrait
2.  $100 RMB (Chinese Yuan) with Chairman Mao's picture
3.  NT$1000 (New Taiwan dollar)

Apparently now Hell will take US dollars and RMB.  Given the huge differential in amount per note,  I wonder if the ghosts prefer the original joss paper money or the "new" US dollars or RMB.

Maybe Hell also has a mortgage crisis rendering its joss paper money value down to the toilet.

Maybe Hell people want to start their FOREX trading with RMB and US dollars. 

You can do a "5-ghosts delivering wealth" ritual offering different currency and see which one brings better results.
