Competition rules
Summary of the rules for all events sanctioned by Coin Spinning International and the Coin Spinning League Europe.
Classic
The longest spin wins. Time runs from release until the coin lies flat. Three attempts per round, the best attempt counts.
Precision
The coin must remain inside a marked 20 cm circle for the whole spin. A spin ends when the coin leaves the circle or lies flat.
No contact
After release, neither the coin nor the plate may be touched. Any contact ends the attempt with no time recorded.
Coin
All competitions use the 2-euro coin (25.75 mm, 8.5 g). Coins are drawn by lot before each round.
Plate
Standard glass plate, 60 × 60 cm. Plate temperature is measured and recorded before every round (from the 2026 season).
Timing
Electronic timing, recorded to hundredths of a second. Ties are broken by the second-best attempt.
