Two-up
editPitch and Toss was also a game similar to two-up as played in Australia. The Kipling poem could be refering to this.
Tossing schools
editSurely 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
Merge request
editThese 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)
