Coinhole creator and game-maker Jackson Martin proudly points out on his web site and Facebook page the game he created in 2008 is a "Made in the USA" story. It is... and a fun one at that.

Martin is a very busy man these days, as his creation has taken off like the proverbial rocket and can be found pretty much locally and, by the creator's own hard work and admission, all over the world these days.

Martin's web site proudly points out that on a particular July 4th holiday, "...the team at Coinhole" was "...excited to share their 'Made In The USA' story," adding, "We are proud that our master craftsmen still handcraft every board in the USA."

Martin calls Lattimore, N.C. home. In his shop he crafts cabinets, cupboards, and cornhole boards.

A while back he said he was asked to make miniature versions of Cornhole boards, to play on a tabletop. As per their web site, "Before the craftsmen could begin creating mini-cornhole bags, a quarter was bounced off the table and onto the board, and Martin thought, "Coinhole!"

Stated Martin on their web site, "In that moment Coinhole, the quarter bouncing game, was born." The name, as per the web site, was "...the perfect fit for a mini tabletop version of Cornhole played with coins." Soon after, Martin noted, it was trademarked and put on the market.

"Today," stated Martin's web site, "our boards continue to stand out for their premium quality. Hold a board in your hands and examine it, and the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into each piece will be strikingly apparent. When you have one of our boards, it's easy to tell that it is 'The Original, The Official Coinhole' game."

The boards are made only from the highest quality maple, noted the web site, creating a beautiful and durable product. Each board goes through a routing and sanding process; is inspected by the craftsmen, and approved as blemish-free before being sent out or sold to their customers. Mr. Martin's Coinhole boards are proudly handmade in the USA by real humans, as is advertised on their web site.

Scoring points is as simple as

bouncing a quarter or coin off the table, noted their web site, with three points for in the hole, and one point for on the board. The score cancels like regular Cornhole and you can play to 21, or make up your own rules as you go along.

Martin also has instructions on the company's web site on how to make, paint, and otherwise create, your own Coinhole boards.

It is also important to be aware that on Official Coinhole products, Martin and his staff are able to offer your favorite colleges because of their Collegiate Licensing agreements.

They stated on the web site, "Due to copyright infringement laws, we are unable to offer any College or professional sports boards not currently on the web site. CoinholeTM is a registered trademark of Martin's Woodworking, LLC."

Said Martin on his web site, "As we grow, our commitment continues to be to our products, our clients, and our reputation. Thank you to all of our customers, friends and family for their support. We are so excited to have grown to where we are today!"
