'''Quarters''' is a [[drinking game]] which involves players bouncing an American [[Quarter (U.S. coin)|quarter]] or similar-size coin off a table in an attempt to have the quarter land in a certain place, usually into a [[shot glass]] (or cup) on that table.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Yates|first=Nick|date=2019-11-05|title=How to Play Quarters: Rules for this Classic Drinking Game|url=https://bargames101.com/how-to-play-quarters/|access-date=2020-11-05|website=Bar Games 101|language=en-US}}</ref> It is also played in [[South America]], where it is called ''monedita'', Spanish for little coin.

The player bouncing the quarter is referred to as the "shooter." In some variations the glass is empty and each player has a separate glass to drink from, while in other variations the glass that the shooter is aiming for contains an [[alcoholic beverage]].

The quarter is customarily bounced on the face whether heads or tails.  Some games may allow a player to bounce the quarter on the edge, particularly by rolling it down their nose.{{Citation needed|date=September 2013}}
