Coin Flip Coin flipping is one of the purest forms of entertainment for young children growing up. Catholic children, however, will no longer be able to enjoy the pastime after heads of the Catholic church rendered the game off-limits to its members.
"We see no reason why children should be able to flip quarters with their friends for fun," said Montgomery Bryant, a Priest at a local California Catholic church, "All it teaches is that children should make their own choices when they have to call the coin flips, and we do not want children having their own voice."
Disgruntled coin hurlers from way back were already protesting the ruling. A rally was set up outside of an Alabama church by a group of young teens who want their rights to flip coins preserved. They rally is expected to include a full coin flipping tournament using special commemorative quarters.
Another group has been protesting the ruling by placing the commemorative quarters in the collection basket throughout the week at daily masses. Coin flipping can be traced back to Stone Age when it was the only form of entertainment.
"These people (Catholic church) already tell us everything we should and shouldn't be doing," said Nigel Frouge, "But this is stepping over the line. If I want to flip a quarter and decide whether it lands heads or tails, then I'll be damned if that's not what I'm gonna do."
The Catholic Church released a statement late Tuesday claiming that there was no such rule against coin flip gambling, and that most likely it was just a rumor that was started by a troubled child looking for attention.
