Is a virtual coin fair?

Yes. Each flip uses your browser's cryptographic random generator, so heads and tails each have exactly a 50% chance, and every flip is independent of the last.

Streaks happen

Runs of the same side are more common than most people expect. In 20 flips, a streak of four or more heads or tails in a row happens more often than not. The tally below the coin shows your streaks as you go.

Questions people ask

Is a real coin 50/50?

Almost. Studies of real coin tosses found a very slight tendency to land on the side that started facing up.
