The superstitious act of tossing a coin to settle a controversy is
a custom that has outlived many older and newer methods for the
same purpose. This concept implies both parties are “good
sports,” and evidence proves that it brings about a decision
that causes less trouble than other means of settlement.
The custom of coin flipping can be traced to Roman times. Julius
Caesar and other Roman emperors had their heads engraved on one
side of every coin.
When an argument arose, a coin was flipped. If the side with the
emperor’s head showed, whoever chose the head side won. This
is where the saying “heads you win, tails you lose”
originated.
Modern versions of coin flipping let you pick either
“heads or tails” and are used frequently in gambling
and sports.
