A pound coin is 22½ mm diameter, while a football pitch is approximately 100 x 40 metres, so 4000 square metres.

Each coin fits in a 22½ mm square, which is an area of 0.0225 x 0.0225 square metres. That is .0005 square metres.

The ratio of the areas is 4000 / .0005 so that football pitch would take 7.9 million pound coins.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
