These three cards represent, from left to right, the nine of each suit. The full pack of To Tom consists of 120 cards, four sets of the same 30 cards. Each of the three shown cards appears four times in the pack. Although made for Vietnam and Indochina, the characters on the cards use an old Chinese script called Chu Nho, a script that modern Chines people cannot read. The name 'To Tom' translates to a bowl or nest of shrimps. Links below to the wrapper for these Vietnamese money cards; and cards from a different (Chinese) deck of money cards: .
