Once I bought a coin from the mint that sold out. I flipped it for over 100% profit on e-bay and used the money to make a transaction involving buying a nice coin for my collection.

As I recall it was heads I stay married, tails I get divorced. Hey, look at the bright side. I got to keep the coin. I got to keep all of the coins.

How about heads I drive the repo wrecker and you hook the chains, or tails you drive the repo wrecker and I hook the chains true story

When I bought my house in the late 80's (1987 rings a bell) I flipped acoin to determine whether or not to lock in on a fixed rate or let it float to see if it would continue downwardas they had been. Then Pres Regan envoked sanctions, on I think China a few weeks later and the rate went up. That meant about $ 35.00 more a month for 30 years. Thankfully I was able to remorgage a number of times to lower rates. That was the last time I flipped a coin to decide anything.

Here's a link to a web site that lets you flip a 1913 Liberty Head nickel.

Flip the Eliasberg specimen 1913 Liberty nickel

It is part of a web site that lets you choose from all kinds of US and world coins to randomly (and digitally) flip. Here's the URL for the home page:

Random.org coin flip home page

Enjoy!

PS: About six years ago, when Dwight Manley owned the Eliasberg specimen, he and I sent a photo of the coin to Random.org to be included on the web site. That's how the site got the image.

I carry an 1886 Cartwheel as a pocket piece, I can't count the times over the last eighteen years i've used it to decide if I would take someone to jail or not for a minor warrant or something small.
Heads you get a warning tails go strait to jail do not pass go

I certainly hope thats not true. I would hope an officer would take several things into account when deciding whether to haul someone off to jail or let them slide for what you call a "minor warrant or something small". I mean sheesh, shouldn't the persons attitude matter?? Their immediate family circumstance?? Their immediate working status?? to think someone would decide who goes to jail or not by the flip of a coin is to me repulsive Some dipstick goes free cause it ends up heads, and some family guy, struggling to make ends meet goes off to the slammer cause some cop likes to flip his pocket piece and play god with someones life and future?????? Sorry, but thats sickening
