Residents at an island in the Philippines have fun playing 'the coconut coin game' during their New Year's party on January 1.

Several small metal coins are wedged in the coconut shell which is covered in charcoal and hung from a washing line.

Players hold their hands behind their backs while they try to remove the coins with their teeth.

The game is won by the player who can take the most coins out of the coconut.

The hilarious video shows the men fighting for the coconut using only their mouths and taking as many coins as they can.

Resident Primutivo Rana said that the game was organised by the youngsters in their village at Mantatao Island.

He said: "We are a small village so everyone is related. We do the party every year, and everyone comes.''
