Flip a British Pound Coin

Flip a pound-themed coin when you want a quick heads-or-tails answer. The design changes the look of the toss; the two possible results work the same way as the other coin pages.

Press Flip coin to begin. The result appears beneath the coin, while the two counters keep track of repeated tosses. Reset before a new round of your game.

Use the Pound Theme for a Tie Break

For a UK-themed quiz or game, assign one choice to heads and the other to tails. You can make a single toss or agree to a best-of-three round before you begin. The counters keep the tally on screen.

Turn off animation when you need a quick answer, or turn off sound for a quiet room. Other designs are on the coin choices page.

About the British Pound Coin

The UK's round £1 coin was replaced by a 12-sided version in 2017. That change made the newer coin easy to distinguish by touch. The Royal Mint's £1 coin guide covers the change and its features.

This page uses a pound-themed illustration for a two-sided toss. It is not a guide to the shape, year, or security features of a real pound coin; use the result text below the image to read the outcome.

Try a Best-of-Three Toss

For a friendly tie break, agree that the first side to appear twice wins. Watch the counters as you flip. If you want to start over, use Reset before the next round.

For a one-time decision, one flip is enough. Repeating a toss only because you dislike the answer defeats the purpose of letting a random result decide.
