Super Bowl Coin Toss From Space

[DC Dawg]

The medal that will be used to start Super Bowl XLIV flew on the space shuttle (STS-129). You can see the medal and the picture of the presentation to the NFL at the NFL Hall of Fame at http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_1574.html

 

After the game, the medal will be returned to the Hall of Fame. Those interested in purchasing a replica, the medal will be available through retail outlets.

Shucks, Scott, based on the title of this thread, I thought they were going to actually toss the coin from space and have it land on the field.

For those with somewhat deeper pockets, the Space Shuttles are also for sale. Think of the super, award winning display you could have with a replica medal and the real shuttle. (SRBs and external tank are extra.) Perfect for winning Best in Category at the next ANA convention!

That was my first thought but it would burn up in the atmosphere.

Maybe they'll toss a football player from space.

They could always make a coin from one of the ceramic tiles on the space shuttle.

That should work but a ceramic coin would have to be cast and then baked at high temperature rather than struck between two dies like a metal coin.

So what! Wampum wasn't made from metal. Coconuts were used for money in the South Pacific. And, there are still some tribes that use their women as cash.

I wonder how that works.

Wonder what happens when they go to the "Family Bank" to make a deposit or withdrawal? How does interests get paid on deposits?

 

This might be a little of-topic from football medals.

Yes, we have steered Scott's thread onto a spur line, haven't we?

 

Sorry, Scott!
