Thumbs up

I did like the coin the referee used for the coin toss. Texas on one side, USC on the other. No need for the visitors to call heads or tails. Whichever team insignia landed up got the option.

How long will a generic Home/Visitor coin is developed? Or does it already exist?

Danbury mint produces coins like this, I have the super bowl coin from last year in a commemorative holder. My wife got it for me for Christmas for a flipping coin.

I am going to use my 1971 Silver dollar, not flipping a 125.00 comm. coin.

I have one of the Honig's zebra coins with the zebra head on one side and the zebra's butt on the other.

They have been doing that for a few years now. I have seen this at last year's Rose Bowl. I might have seen it at another bowl as well.

Peace

I have "silver" dollars that my grandmother gave me as a kid every birthday. I was using them but I have gone to the "cheaper" Honigs zebra coin....LOL
