So, you flip the proof coin... Oops, it is no longer proof, you just lost 7.75 dollars. And people make stupid jokes about Jewish football game's point is to get the quarter back...

I like to use the Gold Dollar Coins with the Indian Girl on them. They feel alot better than a quarter. I used to play that game alot. Now I mostly just make hard decisions with my coins. You know like, 'Subway or McDonalds?", Flip!: 'This bar' or 'that pub': Flip!, 'call said chick' or 'let her wonder', Flip!

Edit:: oh ya, the big 1/2 dollars work really good too. Nice ring, big to catch, but it seems to roll along way if you dont catch it.

BTW Quarters is a game where somebody flips a coin, then you do the same. If you match the flipped coin, you take both. If you flip opposite, the first flipper gets both.

Say what?

Looks like you've never been bored with a pocket full of change. We started playing it during breaks and it carried over into at home when drinking too.
Say I flip a coin and its HEADS. You have to match the Heads to win.
You take both quaters off the ground.
If you flip a Tails I win both coins. You can win or lose a pocket full of coin like this.

Nobody plays quarters like that.

To play quarters, you and another person are on opposite sides of a table. There is a glass of beer in between you. Take turns slamming the quarter onto the table, trying to make it into the glass. If you make it in the glass, the other guy pounds it.
Refill; play again.

With this in mind, how stupid it is depends totally on how much you spent. $3 to have something a little unique - ok, cool, it's only $3. At $145 you'd be a moron.

^^^ it just depends on how much it costs

My sweetie snuggle buns can buy 1964 quarters if he wants. He pays the bills on time, we have food as do the cats, and he is a good honest person. So if he wants to buy proof quarters (btw a proof is uncirculated) quarters to play drinking games in our own home that is okay with me!

No one is saying otherwise, we're just letting him know that yes, he is crazy for doing this

ROFL. What the fvck? Buying something because I want it for a particular purpose defines immaturity? That's about the stupidest fvcking thing I've heard. I would hate to see what you think about the car threads where people people upwards of $40k on something, only to have a pissing contest about it on ATOT...

I love ATOT.....

You paid $8 for something worth $.25. Therein lies the problem.

This is the only way I have ever played quarters, or heard of it being played. I imagine the OP intended this method by his reference to drinking.

Excuse me while I go pick up this mint condition 1964 Corvette and use it to commute to work every day

Give me a f'n break, he spent $8. You have any idea how much you can spend on a single night of drinking? Not saying that I would buy a proof coin for this game, but I'm not going to criticize because he wants something uniqe to play with. It'd be like buying a fancy deck of cards or flashy poker set.

True.
Who has paid $10 for 77 cents worth of little plastic round things and some laminated paper?
Yes, a poker set.
To each his own...

Look, we can't all be the same. Some of us are implusive spend thrifts, others are frugal investors.

He asked for an opinion, so I gave it.

"To each his own" like the guy above me said.

WTF are you talking about?

 

[Soundmanred]

Half of us are talking about the game "Quarters" and it's variations.
The other half is talking about why you would spend more than 25 cents on a quarter to play said game with.
The third half is wondering what the other two halves are talking about.
150% of us agree that drunk driving is bad.
