Push penny Push penny was a long-observed custom at Durham Cathedral in England which occurred three days in the year. During this tradition money was thrown into the crowd on the college-yard.〔 The event occurred annually on January 30, May 29, and November 5; respectively the anniversary of King Charles' death, Oak Apple Day, and Guy Fawkes Night. 〔''Durham Chronicle''. 29 Nov 1872.〕 〔They would throw out 20 shillings of copper to the people on the yard. == History == It is unknown when the tradition began but it was stopped by the Reformation and was continued after the Restoration of Charles II. The Dean and Chapter of Durham were people who kept this tradition going over the years, but the custom was stopped again in the middle of the 19th century. It is unlikely that this tradition will come back.
