HOW TO PLAY
1

Set a target, such as a shallow tin or a chalked circle, at a measured distance from a throwing line.

2

Each player pitches one coin at a time toward the target, trying to land it inside or closest to the center.

3

After everyone has thrown, compare which coin ended up nearest the target to determine the round's winner.

4

In the container version, coins that land and stay inside the container count for extra points over coins that merely land nearby.

5

Players can agree to play multiple rounds, tallying points or simply keeping the coins won from opponents.
