Do any Australians here celebrate "Anzac Day"?
I've only heard about it today when researching an old Irish tradition of playing a game called "Pitch and Toss" which is a coin flipping game.
You can watch some Irishmen playing the game here in 1997:

I'm trying to piece together how the game was played, and I'm kind of relying on guesses mostly.
The game is a betting game, and at some point it made it's way to Australia where it went by the name of "Two Up"
I've been told that it was popular with Australian soldiers in the First World War.
What I found particularly interesting is that playing "Two Up" on the streets is illegal in Australia UNLESS it is Anzac Day.
Is this true?
