Kids out at all in fact. Sad really. I'm so glad I grew up in the late 80's. It's all gaming and headsets like a puff these days.

I'm honestly not sure, I keep thinking Phil Collins is dead too. This forum has warped my mind.

throw a coin at the wall with the skill to stand it up or having it touch,
closest to the wall wins. but...if someone throws a coin and it hits the nearest coin "chinks" is called and all start again.

won a fair amount at this in 1976!!!

Used to play this with football cards - big thick cards that came with bazooka gum, not cigarette cards. Can't quite remember the name but they had stats on the back as well.

Edit: Googled it - Topps cards http://cards.littleoak.com.au/index_topps.html

Is that where they throw coins at a kerb/ wall?
There is a massive trend for that at my school atm!

Throwing a football at the kerb, to see who could hit it. Both players take a side of the road each.

The bounce-back rule was revolutionary!

Ahh! What's the coin-chucking game called then? Is it an oldie or have the little scamps invented a new way of taxing money off each other?

We named each game after the value of the coin. So, if you were pitching ten-pence pieces, you'd call it "tens". I've just finished and we played it all the time but don't think it's new, it's mentioned in 'A View from the Bridge' I do believe.
