Notes

It is very difficult to keep the penny on the chin without tilting the head back. The trick is to pull the lower lip over the penny and hold the lip there with a finger or two. This is not breaking the rules because it is the lip, not the hand touching the penny.

Smiling and laughing makes it difficult to hold the lip in place, so this is a good way to make someone drop it. 🙂
