Stalin on Hell Banknote.

Tal Inbar · 04-30-2002, 04:33 PM

I found this picture. Could anyone help?

Sure Tal..one of two things..

1. Stalin has risen from the grave and is now the leader of Red China.

2. It is some sort of commemorative banknote.

The Chinese and Soviets enjoyed a period of comradery for awhile, I think choice number two is probably correct.

This is from a set of Chinese cigarette cards called "Great Men".

Shalom Tal,

I am pretty sure that this is a "fantasy" note, made using Adobe Photoshop or a similar program...

Oh, and one mroe thing - if you are really curious, let me know, and I can double check to be 100% sure, but this will need to wait until May 18th or so.

Well, not a photo-shop work after all. you can look at:

The english translation appears very asian in it's choice of type font. I've seen alot of this style text when I've seen Chinese translation into English. Looks like it was created over there if that means anything.

Wow.

I've seen these Hell notes before, but only the ones with the emperor, not Stalin. Interesting!

Tal Inbar · 05-03-2002, 01:44 AM

Now I'm confused

What exactly are Hell notes, and why US presidents appeared on them???

Hi Tal,

Well - Hell notes are not really official currency, and are all described here:

In a nutshell, these notes are burned for ritual purposes...
