Historical information

Two up has been played by Australians since 1850's. It was popular during WWI, during which time the soldiers referred to the game as SWY (which came from the German Zwei which is the word for two.) It's popularity continued through WWII and the BCOF constantly ran "SWY" schools.
The game is now only legal to be played on Anzac day in Victoria, but in other states also on remembrance day.
Pennies must be from before 1938 as "Kangaroo" pennies are not acceptable.
