The 1 Circle is generally a large circle of multiple colors, while the rest of the circle tiles consist of smaller circles, each circle being of one color.  The 2 Circle consists of a green and a blue circle, the 3 consisting of one green, one red, and one blue circle arranged diagonally (the order the circles appear in, as well as the orientation, differs between sets).  The 4 Circle has two blue circles and two green circles, arranged in a rectangle with circles of like color in opposite corners.  The 5 Circle is similar to the 4 Circle, with another circle (its color depending on the set) in the middle.  The 6 Circle consists of two green circles at the top and four red circles in the bottom (with a space between the green and red circles). The 7 Circle is similar to the 6 Circle, but has 3 green circles arranged diagonally from top-left to bottom-right.  The 8 Circle has eight blue circles arranged in a 2x4 rectangle.  The 9 Circle has three each of green, red, and blue circles, with each color occupying a row. There is some space between each row, and the middle row is always of the red circles (the blue and green, of course, depends on the orientation of the tile).

Because of the large size of the circle in the 1 Circle, it is commonly nicknamed ''da bing'' (大餅 pinyin ''dàbǐng'', literally: "big pancake").

From the monetary origin of this suit, the circles represent the copper coins known in English as "[[Cash (Chinese coin)|cash]]". (1銅=one copper coin).
