Fair result with a perfect spin
This tool uses `crypto.getRandomValues()`, the same cryptographic API your browser uses to generate secure passwords, to ensure heads and tails each have exactly a 50% chance. The outcome cannot be predicted or manipulated. The 3D animation recreates the real spin of a coin in the air.
Each flip calls `crypto.getRandomValues()`, which returns bytes from a cryptographically secure generator provided by the operating system (CSPRNG). Instead of simply taking the remainder of a division by 2, which would introduce a tiny bias, the tool uses rejection sampling: it discards the few values that would fall outside a range that is a clean multiple of 2 and draws again, so heads and tails stay at exactly 50%.
The animation is purely cosmetic. The side that will land is decided before the coin starts spinning; the rotation degrees (six full turns, plus a half-turn when it comes up tails) merely stage the result the draw already fixed. Nothing in the visuals changes or predicts the outcome.
Example 1, tiebreaker: two people can't decide who pays the bill. Before flipping, one takes heads and the other tails. The spin settles it in a second, and each person's reaction to the result often reveals which option they actually preferred.
Example 2, streaks: because each flip is independent, getting heads five times in a row has probability (1/2)⁵ = 1/32, about 3.1%. Ten heads in a row drops to 1/1024 (≈ 0.1%). These are rare but perfectly normal, they do not mean the coin got "hot" or that tails is "due".
Use a coin flip for low-stakes choices: who goes first, which restaurant, which chore each person takes. In board games and RPGs, it resolves binary events without anyone being able to rig a physical coin.
The limit is psychological: the gambler's fallacy makes many people expect tails "has to come up" after several heads. It doesn't, the coin keeps no memory of what already landed. For important decisions, treat the result at most as a nudge, never as a verdict.

Yes. The result is generated by `crypto.getRandomValues()`, which uses a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) from the operating system. The probability of heads or tails is exactly 50%.
