What size coin do you use for a football coin toss?

Most football coins used for the opening toss are 2" to 2.5". That is larger than the 1.75" standard because a referee has to read the call at arm’s length and the crowd has to see the flip. Anything smaller works fine as a team keepsake but gets lost in the air on the field.

Both faces carry custom artwork, so one side is marked “heads” and the other “tails” — usually a helmet on one and a football or goalpost on the other.
