With that gold stuff in the middle of the paper? whats that called again?

 

[mrfatso]

i never really wondered about that, all i know is that we burn paper notes so our ancestor will be rich in their afterlife.

Same, we use to burn 'heaven notes' so the dead would have money to spend and we would also put fruit and stuff next to their graves for i don't know what
