Here's the answer to everyone's prayer.... money, to take with you.

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 established, it was noticed that some priests were looting these money-laden graves.

So, some substitute had to be found, and paper " Hell " notes was the answer. With this, the dead could rest in peace next to:

Confucius ( 551 to 479 B.C. - Philosopher and the most influential figure in Chinese history )

Mao Zedong ( 1893 - 1976, Chinese Communist leader and founder of the People's Republic of China )

Humphrey Bogart ( American film star; born, Christmas Day 1899 and died January 14, 1957 )

James Dean ( American Actor; born February 8, 1931 and was killed in a car crash on September 30, 1955 )

Marilyn Monroe ( International sex goddess, born June 1, 1926 she died on August 5, 1962 )

John F. Kennedy ( Born 1917, President of the USA, assassinated in Dallas, Texas, November 22, 1963 ).

Jacqueline Onassis Kennedy ( 1929 - 1994, first lady during the administration of her husband, J.F. K. )

Chinese 'Junk' ( wooden sailing vessel used in East Asia for fishing and river transportation )

All of these Christmas colored ( red & green, with blue reverses ) Hell notes are written in both Chinese & English and are all in brand - new uncirculated condition.
