What do you toss with? (Steady on)

[RegalRef]

My dad has had a half crown coin in his wallet for 40 years since he was 15, which he says is his 'lucky coin', in fact I can remember playing with it as a kid, and he had it a good ten years before I was born.

Anyway, as I'm about to embark on my referee career he decided to give it to me to wish bring me luck and use for the pre match toss, which I thought was quite a nice touch.

Question is, what does everybody use for the prematch toss?

(With the exception of course of @Beezer who it would appear can carry out a coin toss without a coin??)

Shiney 10p coin - although I'm thinking of trying the invisible coin toss that others have done

I saw the steady on and knew I was over thinking, I was a little bit concerned for a moment
I use a nice new shiny 10 pence piece for the coin toss

2p coin for me mostly but keep spare change in my bag

I'd be careful at using your dads special coin, depends how special it is, I get through abit £1 or £2 a season in 2p's

I am using a Latvian coin (I think that is what it is) given to me by a refereeing colleague. Has a fish on one side and writing on the other.

Fish or tails captain?

One of any number of various Euro/cent coins I've collected on various trips to the continent. I'm useless and generally lose coins on a weekly basis however the current 20c has done me proud for a few weeks now

Isn't that off by now @HertsFinest ?

Nope. Keep it in a freezer box and get it straight home after the toss I'm determined to reach an FA cup final just so after the toss you can all see me run to the dugout and place it in my freezer box !!

Wouldn't it be easier to get a proper coin, you know, of a none-edible substance?

Easier? Yes. Cleaner? Yes. More sensible? Yes. More durable? Yes.

Chocolate? No.

Case closed

I also vouch for the chocolate coin. Great if you've forgotten your h/t snack!

Can't really argue against that @HertsFinest
