How the Super Bowl flip coin gets made

超级碗翻转硬币如何制作

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

一旦亚足联和NFC锦标赛结束，高地薄荷弹簧就开始行动。

"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."

高地薄荷长期执行副总裁文斯·博伯特（Vince Bohbot）说：“在周日的最后一场比赛之后，我们开始新闻界，硬币开始变得薄荷，我们开始发货。” “实际硬币折腾的硬币（在超级碗之前），实际上需要三天的时间才能制成。”

"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."

“我们将把硬币零至100运到NFL。我们将其运送到NFL现场运营，然后照顾他们分发它们。”

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

其他9,900人出售给公众。

"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."

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."

由于酋长在比赛前打了硬币翻转，因此旧金山在加时赛开始之前就得到了。 49人称为“尾巴”，它出现了“尾巴”。
