I'm wondering about the outcome when a coin is spun by a tosser. Will it land on heads or tails, or could there be other unexpected results due to the spinning action?

This manipulation involves a change in the direction of the coin's spinning axis.

According to Bartoš and his team, precession causes the coin to remain in the air for a longer duration with the initial side facing up.

This extended period in the air increases the likelihood of the coin landing on the same side it started.

The tosser has the ability to manipulate the coin in a way that introduces a wobble or precession.

The effect, while present, is relatively small.
