The History of the Coin Flip
Coin flipping, or coin tossing, dates back to ancient Rome where it was known as "navia aut caput" (ship or head). The coin flip has been used throughout history as a fair way to make random decisions. Today, it's used in sports like football and cricket to determine which team goes first, and in everyday life when people need to make a quick, unbiased choice.
