Title: TEXAS OFFICIALS- CUSTOM FLIPPING COINS
Post by: amaref on November 18, 2019, 10:56:14 PM: I am attempting to design a custom flipping coin. Do any of Texas officials have any ideas or current coins I could get ideas from?

Amarillo had dies made years ago for coins

Still using one that James Kile gave me (which means many, many years ago). With a sharpie, color in the helmet on the heads side, and, with a different color, fill in the, uh, 'hiney' on the tails side, and you can't miss. Gotta refresh the color a couple of times during the season, but, I haven't found a better size or better images. Yeah, might be nice if the coin came with powder coated colors. But good, as is.

I still have mine somewhere. After the flip we gave the coin to the winner of the toss

I have seen Referees give both coaches a coin in playoff games. I never have but I have seen it.

In Amarillo we gave the to the player that won the toss, not the coaches

Do you bring another coin at half just in case you go overtime?
