MELBOURNE, Fla. – It's a super time of year for one Melbourne business.

What You Need To Know

  • The coin, which will be flipped to kick off the Super Bowl, is minted at Melbourne's Highland Mint

  • The rest of the nearly 10,000 coins minted will go on sale to fans

  • In Super Bowl history, the coin toss has come up 29 times for tails, and 26 times for heads

Before Super Bowl LVI kicks off between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams, their creation will take center stage.

There's lots of coin being made at Melbourne's Highland Mint. At the helm, manager Darin Snyder, who for 29 years worked his way up doing every task in the building. Everything we are seeing, he's done.

​"This is preset for the coin we're using. It's going to run through this wheel and put this raised edge on it," Snyder explains.

The coins they are making commemorate Super Bowl LVI.

Snyder takes us through the process, from washing to striking.

"You have these dyes set up and the fingers are grabbing them one at a time and push them into the collar. The dyes come down and strike the coin," Snyder says.

But, for the last three decades, the mint becomes front and center before the big game begins.

"This is really a big deal. The game doesn't start without it," says Snyder.

The coin which will be flipped to kick off the Super Bowl was minted right here and Snyder got the honor to stamp the coin several times over the years.

"It's pretty neat, because I touched that coin," he says with a smile.

This year is extra special for Snyder – his brother in Ohio is a die-hard Bengals fan.

"Sent him up one of the coins, so he's got it for the game," he tells us. "It's exciting when you have a connection to it."

The rest of the nearly 10,000 coins go on sale to fans.

Fun fact – in Super Bowl history, the coin toss has come up 29 times for tails, and 26 times for heads.
