Anyone else here go to the first super bowl? And when did they start have official coins at the toss

Was anyone else at the AFL-NFL Championship game in 1966 before they even called it the Superbowl?
I was 5 when it was in Pasadena. Don't remember much of it.
Did they have an official coin for the game back then? Do you know when the first year they had an official one?

I don't think they much cared about stuff like that in the 60s. Probably it was the ref's personal coin and got spent the next day without a second thought. Probably a five-figure item if somehow it has survived.

Joe Namath hadn't made football famous yet!

Super bowl coin flip

An interesting read.

Thought they only flipped ugly medals....the ones made to sell to "collectors" along with the T-shirts, mugs, key chains and bobble headed hula dancers.
