Place nickels and pennies into spaces as shown. By moving coins either vertically or horizontally (diagonal moves not permitted) reverse the layout of the coins. That is, move the pennies to the nickel squares, and the nickels to the penny squares. Move coins either one space, into an empty square or over one coin, but no more than one space or over more than one coin.
