A drinking/campfire game in which the participant throws a 5 cent coin over the fence in order to hit a neighbouring house, shed, car, or any other object. The winner is judged by the length of time the nickel takes to hit something, as well as the loudness of the sound the coin makes. The game is best played after sundown, and bonus points are awarded when the owner of the house being hit turns on the lights to see what the noise was all about.
This game can also be played with other denominations such as quarters, but nickles are usually picked for both their relatively large size as well as their low value, providing the best bang for the buck.
