Penny Drop game

[Norm Fengstad]

Finished this steve good pattern yesterday. Pennies are no longer in circulation here in Canada  however I saved a can full  of Canadian and American pennies. Interesting is not all pennies are the same size

Hello Ron,

I came across this pattern soon after starting scroll sawing (couple of years ago), liked it, made it, and it's been a favorite seller and requested gift from friends/relatives.  I compare it fun wise with the Shut The Box game.  But this one allows for multiple players.

Me and the grandkids love playing this together.

Never heard of that game. Looks great.

The pattern is from Steve Good so far I think I cut and sold over 40 of them but since we do not have pennies any more in Canada, I will change the plan to nickels drop box

Cute game, Norm.

[heppnerguy]

you make this sound like a fun game. I think I will go back and look at it on Steve Good's site again and read a little more about it and perhaps make one for the fun of it

I also have sold quite a few of these. Instead of penny drop, I was lazy and used coin drop.
The coin drop game pictured is 3/8” Baltic birch, 9x5x2 1/2. With a hinged lid.
The penny drop is a bandsaw box, made from alder. The dimensions are 7x3 3/4 x1 3/4. 
it is a lot of fun to play. 
I include two rolls of pennies, laminated directions and a $1.00 scratch off. I tell people that the pennies should stay with the game. (Who the heck carry’s pennies these days). The scratch off is used as an example of what you can use as a prize for the winner. Plus, it’s great marketing.
