Of course it works better if you flip a £20 note. Don't believe me? Why not try it a few times...

    I feel as if I should point out that £2 coins are very bad coins to flip because they’re weighted unequally.

    @ JT: The original quote is:

    “When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin.
    It works not because it settles the question for you, but because, in that brief moment with the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you are hoping for.”

    I don’t know who originally said it.

      I don’t know if it’s the original, but there’s a lovely version in verse by the Danish poet Piet Hein:

      Whenever you’re called on to make up your mind
      and are hampered by not having any,
      the best way to solve the decision, you’ll find, is simply by spinning a penny.

      No — not so that chance shall decide the affair
      while you’re passively standing there moping;
      but the moment the penny is up in the air,
      you suddenly know what you’re hoping!

        (please excuse missing line-break in the first verse; mangled formatting…)

    I was afraid it was going to be a straight quotation, but you come through on this one Luke

    Of course, if you actually don’t care, it does settle the question for you. Is British money really two-color? I thought that was just Euros.
