Additional Notes

• Variation: You can use different coins for variety (nickels, dimes, quarters).
• Safety: Make sure the playing area is free of obstacles to avoid tripping.
• Trick: Pull your lower lip over the penny and hold it with your fingers. This helps keep the penny in place. Smiling and laughing makes it hard to hold the penny, so use this to make others drop their pennies.
