Everyone has a favorite part of their annual Super Bowl viewing experience, whether it be the game, halftime show, commercials or even a combination of all of those things.

But for Brevard residents, the pre-game coin toss may just have a little more meaning.

Indeed, the coin used to determine which team will get the ball first and which end of the field each team will defend in Super Bowl LVI is produced by The Highland Mint, located at 4100 N. Riverside Dr. in beachside Melbourne.

said Vincent Bohbot, executive vice president of The Highland Mint.

Mr. Bohbot said that the coin measures 39 mm in diameter, which he added was and weighs He also noted that the coin is and which gives off what he refers to as a

He also stated that prior to the conference championship games, which determine which two teams will play in the Super Bowl, coins representing the four possibilities for games are readied.

Another coin produced by The Highland Mint would be used once again in the event the game goes into overtime, as it did memorably in Super Bowl LI when the New England Patriots won the overtime coin toss and promptly scored a game-winning touchdown to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28.

Not so for the workers of the Highland Mint.

As soon as Cincinnati and Los Angeles cemented their spots in the Super Bowl matchup, things began to crank up at the Melbourne-based facility that makes the official flip coin used before the start of the Super Bowl.

The Highland Mint will make 10,000 flip coins, with Nos. 1-100 going to the NFL.

The first Super Bowl to use a Highland Mint coin was on Jan. 30, 1994, when Dallas faced Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVIII.
