A deck of money-suited cards purchased in China. They are made of plastic, and have square corners.
The suit of coins, on the left, the ace, and so on till the 9; the penultimate card on the right
Notice the delightfully careless way the 8 of coins is arranged
The leftmost card [i.e. the one with the red stripe is the 白花, White Flower]
The suit of strings. As you may have noticed, these cards have scoops in the top, which serve as indices
the 9 of coins is also arranged in a delightfully careless manner
The leftmost card is what appears to be a bonus; he has a red X on his chest
The suit of myriads. The faces are rather mask-like. The 8 of myriads has a small dab of coloir on his head.
The fouur bonus cards on the deck.
The third card from the left, depicting a standing figure, is the 童子, or boy
The fourth card from the left, with two red squiuggles is the 千萬, thousand myriad
