MORE ON COIN FLIPPING LORE
Regarding the article How did flipping a coin become a decision-maker?, Mike Reynolds writes:The opening sentence, "The Lydians minted the first coins
in 10 BC " is incorrect. I believe Lydian Lions were produced around 600
BC. 10 BC would be right around the date of the first coin toss. I know
this because I've got the very first coin that was used and it's dated 10
BC.

Gar provided some images for the site. Where else can you
decide a bet by flipping a 1913 Liberty Head nickel? -Editor -Editor
