did the SEC specifically mint a South Carolina-Texas coin for its coin flip to determine the women's #1 seed? do they have hundreds of coins on hand for any possible pairing between two of its teams? did they merely add logos to an existing coin, and if so, how? - ThreadSky

If my math is right, there could be 120 different SEC two-sided coin combos?

Sounds like a potential new revenue stream to me.

We say coin but that’s definitely not a coin. It’s too thick. It’s a disc.

rodger.bsky.social•3 days ago

how confident are they the two sides are the same weight? what happens to the coin if they don't need it? how much does single-coin minting cost? i can keep going

Probably dialed up The Highland Mint

bhindepmo.bsky.social•3 days ago

it's retailing for half a million dollars, but we'll give it to you for $35,000.. we also have smaller coins for $7

Adopting a minimalist logo to reduce coin weight and win flips

Please do!

Co-sign, I want to read a piece about this

atkinscolm.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well I hope they used the same mint as the trillion dollar coin.

statsboyandi.bsky.social•3 days ago

They had it minted

alan-cole.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can confirm they specifically minted a coin.

gqgilbert.bsky.social•3 days ago

Quick math says SEC would need 120 different coins if they wanted one for each combo. (15 + 14 + 13 …3 + 2 + 1). Big Ten would need 153. Super conferences!

hockeybear.space•3 days ago

As a 16-team conference, they would need 120 coins. When they had 14 teams they only needed 91, so they had to mint 29 coins this offseason (or only 28 if they got the OU-Texas coin from the Big 12 in realignment)

Trust Rodger to ask the hard questions.

Lady Cocks pulled away late. Would have been hilarious if Kentucky pulled the upset.

Oh man self-made coins are going to open the door all. The way for conspiracy theorists. For example, did you know that due to differences in pigmentation a square inch of burnt orange paint weighs 0.2 gms less than than the equivalent in garnet based on research I just made up?

Please do a coinvestigation on this

Better question. Can you peel is and find chocolate?

Have you ever attended the Koshien?

scottgoblue314.bsky.social•3 days ago

In the reflection it looks like two discs stuck together. I bet they have a logo for every team so they can combine them for any opening toss or special occasion

fatman.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm gonna guess they just used a very special version of those penny squashers at tourist traps.
