About the Handiwork Coin Flip

Is the coin flip fair?
Each flip has an equal 50/50 chance of heads or tails, generated using your browser’s random number generator. Over many flips the split tends toward 50/50, but short runs can be lopsided — seeing several heads or tails in a row is completely normal and does not make the next flip any more or less likely.
Tally, streaks, and history
The tally keeps a count of heads and tails along with their percentages so you can watch the ratio settle over time. The recent-flips strip shows your latest results at a glance and highlights your current streak — handy for games, demonstrations, or just satisfying curiosity about probability.
Frequently asked questions
How do I flip a coin online?
Just press the Flip coin button. The tool tosses a virtual coin and shows heads or tails instantly, then updates your running tally.
Is the result truly random?
Yes. Each flip uses your browser’s built-in random number generator and has a fair 50% chance of landing on either side.
Why did I get many heads (or tails) in a row?
Streaks are normal with random flips — each toss is independent, so a long run of one side does not change the odds of the next flip, which stays 50/50.
