But I think that they use a special "NFL coin," so it won't probably behave in the same way as a "normal coin" would. If I remember correctly it has the NFL emblem on the other side and something football related on the other one as well... or it could be that they have many different alternative variations.

Good Point. Maybe we'd have better luck at rock/paper/scissors?
