Step 1: Fill a bucket with water, and drop a quarter into it.
Step 2: Take a handful of pennies, and drop them into the bucket one by one. Try to drop each penny so that it lands right on top of the quarter.

If you're playing against a friend, take turns, and the one who captures the quarter first wins.
