For the supreme celestial deities, nothing less than the largest "denomination" of gold-foil spirit money will do, while lesser deities and spirits are content to receive smaller "denominations" of the same. Deceased ancestors don't count as spirits and so are venerated with the larger "denomination" of silver-foil spirit money, whereas petty demons are expected to get by on the "small change."
以金銀紙來說，最高、最崇敬的「天」，燒的是印得最精緻、最大張的天金、盆金，換言之也就是「面額」最大的鈔票；略遜上天一籌的神明則燒壽金、刈金等；逝去祖先，並不是神，燒得是大銀，至於陰間小鬼則燒小銀。
