Toss a coin so it tumbles realistically and lands on the side already chosen

The outcome of a coin toss is rolled in the game logic, and the picture must agree. Counting turns in whole rounds gets the wrong side half the time, and a flight time that has nothing to do with the height looks like a rubber ball. Here is how the number of half turns and the flight time are worked out.

Why this works

A coin shows its other side after each half turn, so the end result depends only on whether the count of half turns is odd or even. Tying the flight to the toss height makes it look like real weight.

When not to use it

Do not fake a toss when the player throws it themselves and expects skill or chance to matter, such as a flick on a touch screen. Let the real motion decide there, or the choice will feel rigged.
