The version of bloody knuckles that we had at school was you put your fist on the table vertically, knuckles towards your opponent. Then you take turns flicking a coin at each other's knuckles.
Hmm, I remember that one too but I just remember it being called "quarters," since they were largest, heaviest coin with an abrasive edge, so that's what was used.
Same though we would spin a quarter and then take turns flicking it while still spinning to maintain the spin; whoever knocked it over took the penalty flick against their knuckles.
