What is the difference between a hand mala and a counter mala in Buddhism?

Most malas used by Buddhists have 108 beads, though some have fewer beads; usually some fraction of 108. Some say that the reason there are 108 beads is that one should say 100 mantras, but being human, we are all bound to goof up sometimes, so they put the extra 8 beads on in case you make a mistake. Others say that the extra 8 mantras are dedicated to all sentient beings. It doesn't matter what kind of mala you use; you can easily keep track of how many mantras you've said by counting on each joint of each finger (each finger has four placemarks).
