At least once a year, some class of Musical Mandarin does finger counting. Now I have found someone who has photos online.

We use the same hand gestures for 1 - 8. The '9' that I have seen is very different and I know at least two ways to show ten with one hand.
You may also want to check out this reference. To me it looks very much like what some of my Indian friends' mothers used to do when counting.
