    I did 32 when I was 17 If I had bigger hands I know I could of done 52 but if u miss one that shouldn't count and u shouldn't get credit for any but if u try again with 1 less and catch them all ok but I had to make 3 stacks I don't think there anyway to do it straight up u couldn't catch them like that even if by some miracle u could balance that much unless u have Tony Robin's hands

    That's awsome that's my brother in law beating a world record

    Tremendous video, though at least one coin is clearly heard falling against the ground. We've denied past submissions for not catching all quarters. Therefore, I think we need to deny this attempt. Clay, will you try again?

      I Agree with you Dan. This is awesome but, one quarter obviously dropped. Breaking rules 2 and 3. - must catch all quarters balanced - any dropped quarters automatically disqualifies the attempt

    Read the rules. You have to catch every coin placed upon the elbow. Jimmy Thompson, nice try, doesn't count for squat.

  • The Internet Andreas Weaver

    Some coins were dropped you can hear it. Coins were not visible when counting.

    Great job, Matt! And I'll be gunning for you soon... :)

  • Wasn't this an episode of Happy Days?

    Good point. Once they get to a certain height, it's really hard to keep them balanced for long so I usually stack and go as fast as possible (it takes too damn long to pick them all up!).

  • Very impressive. Seeing a little more hang time before you drop your elbow would be a bonus.

  • That's "8all".
