It involves throwing coins across the room and into a hole carved in the seat of a wooden bench.〔(Pitching disc games - History and Useful Information ), James Masters〕 Another version of the game is played in many British- or Irish-style pubs. Contestants stand about 20 feet behind a wall and try to throw the pennies as close to the wall as possible without touching it. Another variation is Toad in the Hole in which a dedicated table or box is used instead of a hole carved in a convenient piece of pub furniture. Toad in the Hole has a World Championship held in Lewes.〔 ==History== A version of the game called Chuck-Farthing was played in the United Kingdom.〔(World Wide Words ) - Chuck Farthing, Michael Quinion, June 16, 2007〕 Mentions of the game date back to the 18th century.〔''A Little Pretty Pocket-book'', John Newbery, 1744〕 The rules of the game were described in the 19th century as follows: Each competitor starts with the same number of coins. They pitch their coins one at a time from a mark at a given distance towards a hole in the ground. The competitors are ranked based on how close they come to the hole. The competitor closest to the hole receives all of the coins and proceeds to a second mark nearer to the hole, from which he throws all of the coins at once towards the hole. All of the coins that remain in the hole are his to keep. The remainder of the coins are given to the next closest competitor, and the process is repeated until no coins remain.〔〔(The Traditional Children's Games of England Scotland & Ireland In Dictionary Form - Volume 1 ), Alice Bertha Gomme, 1894.〕 A variation of the game called Chuck-Hole or Chuck-Penny was played in the same manner, with the exception that if the coins roll outside a ring drawn around the hole, it was declared a "dead heat," and each competitor reclaims his coin.〔 The coins used were usually small denomination, farthings, halfpence, or pennies. Sometimes rough-cast leaden markers called ''dumps'' were used.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pitch penny」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
