Hmm I feel like there's an opportunity for someone to make an old Mr. Beast type video: "I flipped a coin 100,000 times...."

this is where the superstition of finding a coin on the ground facing heads brings good luck; it is statistically less likely to happen naturally, as there's more metal going into the face pictured on the "heads" side than into the detailing on the "tails" side

Or it can be a matter of each sides mass and whichever side has the greater number of mass has a more likely hood of being the opposite, therfore whichever side is the lightest has a better chance of landing

Technically every outcome of the real action of flipping a coin is predetermined. This is because the randomness comes from random factors that are concrete at the time of the flip. Examples include the force used in the flip, the orientation of the coin, the point at which it landed, rotational velocity, wind, etc., etc. All of these would be different for a subsequent attempt of course. But were you to rewind time and play the event out exactly as it happened the outcome could never be any different. In short. A specific coin flip event would either be heads 100% of the time or tails 100% of the time. So you should always bet on the result it was always going to be.

When flipping a penny, is it more likely to land on heads or tails? 🤔
