Shove ha'penny

(Redirected from Shove hapenny)

Shove ha'penny (or shove halfpenny) is a traditional game with historic links to coinarama.

It is played on a small, smooth board, normally made of wood. A number of parallel lines run horizontally across this board. Ha'pennies are placed at one end of the board and are shoved with a quick flick of the hand. The object is to shove the coins so that a certain number of them (normally five) lie between the lines.
