Chime in if you joined me in the honor of flipping a Ronald Reagan Centennial coin at your game this weekend!

In our game the home principal had the visiting principal flip the coin at midfield.

I heard the Referee at the Oklahoma-Missouri game last night announce "Ronald Reagan" coin before the coin toss last night.

I didn't actually get to flip it, they rolled the former governor out to do it.  He was pretty nervous because he thought he was supposed to call it.  I had him flip it and let it hit the turf.  After the cointoss he was pretty adamant about getting his coin back.  My umpire had scooped it up, but the look on the governors face was like a kid who got his bike stolen.

Home AD gave us the coin in our locker room. The R flipped it and the AD said he'd git from the R  before the game started but he waited until after  the game was over to get it. The R carried it in the blue felt box it came in the first half and we locked it up at half time.
It was a very nice looking coin.

We had the honor of flipping the Reagan coin at the Bryan v. Killeen Ellison game in Bryan, Texas last Friday night. Needless to say, it is a very impressive looking coin!   z^
