I'm wondering if a coin can land on its side when it's dropped. Is it possible for it to balance perfectly on the edge, or will it always end up flat on one of its faces?

The concept of coin tossing is often perceived as a binary event with two definitive outcomes: heads or tails.

In theoretical terms, this binary nature is well-established and widely accepted.

Calculating this probability involves determining the likelihood of each of the three outcomes based on various factors such as the coin's physical characteristics and the force and angle of the toss.

However, in practical scenarios, there is an additional possibility that a coin might land on its side.

This scenario introduces a third potential outcome, which complicates the traditional binary model.
