• Keep but rename. This is a well-known game the world over (naturally it's not called "Nickels" outside one nation), though trying to find references is not easy as search engines give screeds of stuff about heads-and-tails type coin tossing. I will find references, I will... Tonywalton  | Talk 12:41, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as a well-known game, emphatically NOT made up one day by bored schoolchildren. Or perhaps it was, if it was done so many, many years ago and has since spread to thousands of schools and people. Needs a cleanup, a reference, and a possible renaming, but not a deletion.

• Comment This is a common marbles game, otherwise known as "Wallsies". I've never heard of it being played with nickels, though, and I've been a teacher for 25 years. My hunch is to delete. Denni ☯ 02:52, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
