Commemorative Super Bowl coin made in Melbourne

It's the commemorative coin for the Super Bowl and FOX 35 News got to go inside the Florida mint where it's made.

Melbourne, Fl. - On Sunday, at the start of the Big Game, the coin toss decides who kicks off and who receives in the first play of the Super Bowl. That coin comes from the Highland Mint in Melbourne, Florida.

Highland Mint manufactures 10,000 coins for each Super Bowl. First comes the "flip coin," which will end up in the Football Hall of Fame, then the next 99 are given to players and dignitaries. The rest are sold to fans.

Michael Kott, CEO of the Mint showed FOX 35 News around the property and let us view some of the other commemorative coins that the facility has produced over the years -- souvenirs from historical moments, college football games, and keepsakes for astronauts.
