How the Super Bowl flip coin gets made

超級碗翻轉硬幣如何製作

As soon as the AFC and NFC championships are over, the Highland Mint springs into action.

一旦亞足聯和NFC錦標賽結束，高地薄荷彈簧就開始行動。

"Right after the last game Sunday we start the presses, the coins start getting minted and we start shipping out merchandise," said Vince Bohbot, longtime executive vice president of the Highland Mint. "The coin for the actual coin toss (prior to the Super Bowl), it actually takes three days to get made after the fact."

高地薄荷長期執行副總裁文斯·博伯特（Vince Bohbot）說：“在周日的最後一場比賽之後，我們開始新聞界，硬幣開始變得薄荷，我們開始發貨。” “實際硬幣折騰的硬幣（在超級碗之前），實際上需要三天的時間才能製成。”

"We'll ship coins zero to 100 to the NFL. We'll ship them to NFL on-field operations and then they take care of distributing them."

“我們將把硬幣零至100運到NFL。我們將其運送到NFL現場運營，然後照顧他們分發它們。”

The other 9,900 are sold to the general public.

其他9,900人出售給公眾。

"That's a limited edition of 10,000 coins, and the coin is minted just like a real currency," Bohbot said. "It's silver plated and it has 24 karat gold highlights."

In last year’s Super Bowl, Kansas City won the coin toss and called “heads.”

在去年的超級碗中，堪薩斯城贏得了硬幣折騰，並被稱為“頭”。

"Heads" it was, and the Chiefs deferred their choice to the second half.

The prior year, the Chiefs called the opening coin toss and won by calling “tails” when they played the Eagles the first time.

They also deferred that year, too.

Are different coins flipped prior to the game and prior to overtime?

在遊戲前和加時賽之前，不同的硬幣是否翻轉了？

As previously mentioned, coin No. 00001 is always the one used prior to the game.

如前所述，硬幣00001始終是遊戲前使用的硬幣。

However, they don't use that coin for overtime.

但是，他們不會使用那枚硬幣加班。

Bohbot explains: "Coin Zero is used for the overtime. ... Basically, it's the artist proof."

Bohbot解釋說：“零硬幣用於加班。……基本上，這是藝術家的證明。”

What have the overtime coin flip results been?

加班的硬幣翻轉結果是什麼？

One year ago, the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs went to overtime in Super Bowl 58 tied, 19-19. It was the second overtime Super Bowl game.

一年前，舊金山49人隊和堪薩斯城酋長隊以19-19領先的超級碗58領先。這是第二場加班超級碗比賽。

Since the Chiefs called the coin flip prior to the game, San Francisco got it before overtime began. The 49ers called "tails," and it came up "tails."

由於酋長在比賽前打了硬幣翻轉，因此舊金山在加時賽開始之前就得到了。 49人稱為“尾巴”，它出現了“尾巴”。

In Super Bowl 51, the first OT title game, the Patriots had the overtime choice, and they chose "heads."

Who designs the Super Bowl flip coin?

誰設計了超級碗翻轉硬幣？

Given this is a rematch of the Super Bowl from two years ago, you might wonder if they just use the same coin front and change the back for the new Super Bowl logo.

鑑於這是兩年前超級碗的重賽，您可能會想知道他們是否只使用相同的硬幣前面並更換新的超級碗徽標的後背。

The answer is no.

答案是否定的。

"The design is controlled by the NFL," Bohbot said. "So, their designers come up with the concepts and basically we just mint it."

博伯特說：“設計由NFL控制。” “因此，他們的設計師提出了這些概念，基本上我們只是薄荷。”
