Yes, a couple times actually.  Thick grass of youth fields.

All you do is step on the coin.  It will properly show whichever side is most past 90 degrees.

Most soccer referees catch the coin, I guess precisely for this reason.

So do a lot of football referees.  If, somehow, you miss it, calling it on the ground is a built-in Plan B.

I always tell 'em "If I drop it, we'll do it again."

I've caught 684 consecutive tosses.

Texas says to let the coin hit the ground. But depending on field conditions I still catch it every now and then for some SV stuff.

And regardless of the coin toss, the Germans and English are still fighting.
