Coin flipping: History, Politics & Applications

Coin flipping, coin tossing, or heads or tails involves launching a coin in the air and then checking which side is showing once it has landed, in order to randomly choose between two alternatives. It is a form of sortition which inherently has two possible outcomes. Used in such a fashion, the coin serves as a binary lot.
