The Five Coin Game

Classic schoolyard game of strategy, reflex and skill.

About This Site

A few days after turning 30, while sorting through coins from a jar, I picked up 5 pennies and instinctively stacked it. Then I dropped the stack on the table, and flicked one coin against another.

I remember this game.... but what are the rules? Heck, what is this game called?

A few Google searches later, I noticed that I'm not the only person asking these questions. So I set out to document the game, the rules, and with some pretty pictures and videos, pass along the game to the next generation.
