Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2875 Posts	Posted 09/22/2012 07:25 am I have a collection of about 500 different kinds of heck notes. They are almost all on very flimsy paper but then they are designed to be burnt as part of a funeral ritual.

Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 09/23/2012 5:01 pm I read somewhere once that to give this money to a living person would be considered grossly offensive. Can anyone shed any light on this? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 09/23/2012 6:29 pm Since the Chinese were the inventors of paper money, they have a very long history of burning replica paper money for the benefit of the departed. Typical traditional-designed "joss paper" notes bear a superficial resemblance to Ming Dynasty banknotes. Quote: I read somewhere once that to give this money to a living person would be considered grossly offensive. Can anyone shed any light on this? Yes, well, it's basically saying "I hope you're going to need this soon". In other words, "I wish you were already dead". It might look like play money, but it's taken quite seriously by those who adhere to the Chinese belief system. There's a chap at the local coin club who sometimes obtains examples of various different designs of notes from the local Chinese supplies stores, and quite a few people in the club collect "funny money" and such so would be interested in them for their collections; but he never gives it away directly to people. He always just leaves a pile of it on the table and says if anyone wants one, they can take one. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
