It only counts if its a penny.
hence the name 'pennying'

No,
it's a 2p and NEVER a 1p.

But because I like you I will become aware that some people call it "pennying" and use pennies.

here is an article with the Cambridge rules

Oxford rules are slightly different and Teddy Hall generally plays 'hand on glass' where you can only be pennied whilst touching your drink.
( WormuIus, Thu 11 Sep 2008, 12:15, archived)

You can only be 2p'd when the drink is in your hand
that's the main rule.
( Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Thu 11 Sep 2008, 12:16, archived)

I've played with people from other colleges and universities who don't use that rule.
but its a good rule to have imo.
( WormuIus, Thu 11 Sep 2008, 12:18, archived)

I will end by adding
that if you dropped a 2p into the pint of anyone I knew who was aware of 'pennying' they would make you drink the beverage in question for using a 2p instead of a penny.

we used to play "stop dicking about with your phone"
it was a great game, if someone was found to be dicking about with their phone, in a manner which was not to contact someone or organise something that we all gained something from, it would be removed from their possession and placed in their pint.

This successfully got rid of a few 'friends' I had collected and also proved to make conversations and debates in pubs more open to everyone.
( GrandmaOfShoes, Thu 11 Sep 2008, 12:12, archived)

Dropping it in their pint is a bit much,
what's more fun is if someone keeps getting texts, steal their phone when they get a message and reply something completely inappropriate.

I was in Thermodynamics at the time.
I came out of the class to find a friend standing outside in a state, looking like he was about to smash something. He told me what was going on, and my blood went to ice as I had friends and family in that area- in fact, one worked in the WTC. It was days before I could confirm that everyone was okay.

Had I been in power at that point, I would have turned Afghanistan into a large glass ashtray with a lot of incandescent wisps over it, lit by an enormous mushroom cloud.
