    Hi everyone,
    Today I want to show something neat I acquired at a antique shop I visited located in Wind Gap Pennsylvania.
    It's called..
    TWO ~ UP
    Australia's National Betting Game
    Contains 2 Genuine Pennies (1936 & 1937)

    Some information I found on the internet..
    Two-up is a traditional Australian game, most notably played in pubs and clubs on Anzac Day each year. The game is illegal on most other days of the year.

    They could've at least inserted a pair of Australian 1d coins. Regardless, that should be an interesting game to try @paddyman98.

    That is really neat. I assume you bet what obv/rev is facing up on the left and right

    It is possible the Commonwealth of Australia pennies have been replaced if they were included originally

    Honestly, I don’t know @expat. If I had to guess, it probably depends on who distributed the set.

    You didn't need your magic metal wand for that one.
    Having the whole packages is cool.
    Can't wait to get out and check the shops myself.

    The CofA 1936 penny in AU is a 30 dollar coin
