    The game of pitch and toss is a well-known and an old game. A good number of pennies are won and lost in this game, and some times boy's loose all their pennies in this game. The nearest penny to the "mottie" wins the pitch, and the winner then tosses the pennies and the amount he wins depends upon the number of "heads" he makes.
