Talk:Pitch and toss

Pitch and Toss was also a game similar to two-up as played in Australia. The Kipling poem could be refering to this.

Surely not in playgrounds the teachers or parkeepers or whoever would stop it straight away. The only tossing schools I ever saw were on waste ground and discreetely off the beaten track. They were made up exclusively of adult males. The most popular time seems to have been on a sunday morning before the club opened. They happened regularly week after week. No doubt the police tolerated them.21:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)mikeL

These seem to be essentially the same game: throw coins nearest to the wall. The "variant" of pitch penny through a hole in a seat might merge with Quarters instead. jnestorius^(talk) 17:05, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
