Highland Mint produces the official coin for the Super Bowl since 1993
Super‑Bowl LIX: The Coin That Starts the Show
Meet the Mini‑Hero Behind the Big Game
- Mint Location: Indian Harbour Beach – right at the corner of Eau Gallie Boulevard and South Patrick Drive.
- Mission: To create the official Super‑Bowl flip‑coin used in New Orleans this Sunday.
- Backstory: The Highland Mint has been producing the coin since 1993 (Super Bowl XXVIII). That’s a decade of gold‑filled pride!
Michael Kott, President of the Highland Mint, says it plain and simple: “The Super‑Bowl flip‑coin isn’t just a piece of metal – it actually starts the game.” He adds, “The Super‑Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events worldwide, and here we’re known for saying ‘the game doesn’t start without us.’ So when people see that coin, it’s a proud moment for all of us.”

Who Knew a Simple Coin Could Be the Hero of a Super Bowl?
Imagine a tiny object that’s been flipped high above the stadium, clangs against its brother on the field, and then spins into history. That’s the coin that’s destined to settle disputes when a game goes into overtime—just like it did during Super Bowl LI in Houston, six years ago, between New England and Atlanta.
Why This Coin Matters
- Toss‑of‑duty—When the clock runs out, the coin decides who gets the ball.
- It’s a modern ritual, echoing the old‑school coin‑flipping straps that once decided everything from negotiations to winners.
- After making history, it will be honored by being sent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
The Super Bowl Story
In that iconic 2017 showdown, the coin flipped in a tense, bone‑rattling moment that sent the game into the first ever over‑time in Super Bowl history. New England’s touchdown came courtesy of a single toss—proof that destiny can be decided in a heartbeat.
All Hail the Heroic Coin
So next time you hear a whistle and see a coin lift into the sky, remember that you’re witnessing a little piece of football lore. It’s not just a coin—it’s a symbol of drama, chance, and the magic that turns ordinary plays into unforgettable legends.
Heads‑Up: The Highlands Mint is Dropping 10,000 Super‑Memed Coins!
Picture this: a shiny, double‑edged coin that’s more flashy than your favorite hype music playlist, hand‑made for the Super Bowl 59 showdown between the Chiefs and the Eagles. The Highlands Mint is whipping up a limited run of 10,000 of these 2‑tone dueling flip coins, and yes – the NFL has officially given the thumbs‑up.
Why These Coins Are the Real MVPs
- Each coin is a 1.5‑inch masterpiece – half silver, half gold for that “glow‑rate” effect.
- Only coin #1 gets the front‑row spot to start the game; the rest are ready for you in the general market.
- Hands‑picked fine silver, followed by a selective 24‑kt gold plating for that flash‑y look.
- Every piece gets its own serial charm: individually indexed, sealed, and protected in a clear acrylic capsule to keep it gleaming.
- Package, oh package! A custom 6″×4″ booklet case lets you flip a central page to reveal both sides – perfect for that “who won?” moment.
- All coins arrive with a certificate of authenticity, matching the serial number in the same case – no confusion, no doubt.
Grab Yours Before They’re Gone!
These coins are on a one‑off, limited‑edition sprint – exactly 10,000. That’s less than the population on a small pond, so don’t joke around. If you’re into collectors, football fever, or just love a good shiny souvenir, this is the coin of the year.
