Penny in the hole

Penny in the hole (also called penny seat, penny slot, tossing the penny, and pitch penny) is a pub game. It involves throwing coins across the room and into a hole carved in the seat of a wooden bench.

This article is about the game where coins are thrown into a box. For the game where coins are thrown against a wall, see Pitching pennies.

A similar game 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.
