<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 823066, member: 13650&quot;]Cool contest BHP!&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s always fun to play with the mind boggling numbers of some of these mintages.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Ok, so the lowest is the 1968-S at <b>258,270,001</b>.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; An NFL field from back of endzone to back of endzone is 360&#039; long and from the edge of the field at the white line to the other edge of the field is 160&#039; wide.&nbsp; &nbsp; So, one official sized NFL field = 48,000 sq./ft.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; A single Lincoln needs a 3/4&quot;x 3/4&quot; square to sit in, to be able to be set next to another one.&nbsp; &nbsp; This mintage would cover 1,008,867.19 sq./ft.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; In other words, <b>the 68-S mintage would be enough to entirely blanket (just a hair over) 21 NFL football fields, to the back of the end zones and to the white edge lines.&nbsp; &nbsp; </b></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The actual number came out to 21.018 fields.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
