No, they only had one. I think they're simple, watered-down versions for children.

Then they were not watered down! They are the ones imagined in the mental arithmetic competitions! Quick! Retrain!

:D YAAAY!
AHAHA, I've never learned how to use the ones with two beads, so I'm guessing that is a good thing.

Of course, the two-bead version is commonly described as the Chinese abacus while the one-bead version is commonly described as the Japanese abacus....
