How It Works
Our coin flipper uses JavaScript's Math.random() function to generate truly random results. Each flip has exactly a 50% chance of landing on heads and 50% chance of landing on tails, just like a real coin.
Coin Flip in History
Coin flipping has been used for centuries as a fair way to make decisions. The practice dates back to ancient Rome, where it was called "navia aut caput" (ship or head), referring to the designs on Roman coins. Today, coin tosses are used in sports, games, and everyday decision-making around the world.
Tips
- Assign each option to heads or tails before flipping
- Use statistics to verify randomness over many flips
- Reset stats when starting a new decision session
- Watch the history to see patterns (or lack thereof!)
- The coin is fair - each flip is independent of previous flips
