How many coins

How it works

Tap the button and get heads or tails straight away. Flip several coins at once to settle a bigger decision, or to see how quickly a fair coin drifts towards a 50/50 split.

Each flip is an independent event with P(heads) = P(tails) = 0.5

Example: Flip 100 coins and you will usually land somewhere between 40 and 60 heads — rarely exactly 50.

Questions people ask

Is this coin flip actually random?

Yes. It uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator, the same source used for security keys, with the range corrected so neither side is favoured.

Why did I get ten heads in a row?

Streaks are normal. Each flip is independent, so a run of ten heads has a 1-in-1024 chance — which happens often when you flip a lot.

Can I use it to decide something important?

It is as fair as a real coin, so it works for any 50/50 choice. For more than two options, use the random number generator instead.
