[edit] Old talk

The modern and childish design shown in the image is not representative of what a typical red packet looks like. The traditional red packet was plain darker red without the orange tint typical of the tradition red dye in the old days. Anyone has a better picture?

I think "red pocket" may be another name for this concept.

[edit] Odd and even amount

Hi, I am not chinese, but whenever I give an ang pow to my friends during chinese new year or a wedding, I am always told to give an odd number, not even. I live in malaysia, is that the correct numerical value to give ? --andrewkeith80 06:28, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
