Flip a Coin

Press Flip and the coin spins in the air and lands on heads or tails. Toss one coin for a quick call or a thousand at once — the tally keeps count, and the two-sided wheel below does the same job with a spin.

How to flip a coin online

1. Press Flip. The coin tosses, turns over a few times and lands on heads or tails.
2. Need more than one coin? Type the number in How many and flip them all at once.
3. Prefer a show? Spin the wheel: it has one heads sector and one tails sector, so a spin is a coin toss the whole room can watch, especially in Fullscreen.

The line under the coin counts every flip on this page — heads, tails and their share in percent. Copy puts the last result on your clipboard, and Clear starts the count again.

Heads or tails for every small dispute

A coin toss is the oldest fair way to settle a choice between two options. Football referees use it to pick ends before kick-off, and friends use it for the front seat, the last slice or the first turn in a game. Two rules keep it fair:

• call it before the flip — decide who has heads, or what heads means, before you press the button;
• agree on the format — one flip, or best of three when the stakes feel higher.

With a virtual coin nobody can catch it badly, drop it under the sofa or claim it did not spin.

Flip a hundred coins at once

Flipping many coins turns the page into a small probability lab. Toss 10 coins and you will rarely get exactly 5 heads. Toss 1000 and the share of heads settles close to 50% — the law of large numbers at work. Teachers use multi-coin flips to show that a fair process still produces streaks and uneven batches, and the running tally makes the long-run average easy to see.

Two options that are not heads and tails

The wheel below the title is an ordinary two-entry wheel. Replace Heads and Tails with your own options — Pizza and Sushi, Yes and No — and every spin decides between them. The coin above keeps flipping heads and tails. For a plain answer, try the yes or no wheel; when two sides are not enough, roll a die with the dice roller.
