Flip a US Quarter Coin

The quarter design gives this heads-or-tails picker a familiar American look. Use it for a quick decision, a classroom probability exercise, or choosing who goes first.

Press Flip coin for one result. The heads and tails totals build as you toss again, and the bar shows their share. Reset when you want to start a new set of quarter flips.

Start a Game with a Quarter Toss

Let one player call heads or tails before the toss, then use the result to decide who begins. For a series of games, the running counters show how often each side has appeared. Reset them when you start a new series.

The quarter image is a theme for this online tool. If you want a different coin illustration, return to the coin choices.

About the US Quarter

A quarter is worth 25 cents, or one fourth of a dollar. George Washington first appeared on its heads side in 1932, while the tails side has carried many designs over the years, including state and national park themes. The U.S. Mint's quarter guide shows how those designs changed.

This flipper uses one quarter illustration for every toss. The artwork does not switch among real quarter issues, and the coin's appearance has no effect on whether the result is heads or tails.

Read the Running Count

The heads and tails numbers show what has happened in this session. The percentage bar changes after each flip. A long series may look closer to an even split, but any individual flip still has an uncertain result.

Press Reset when you want to start a new set of flips. If animation takes too long, turn it off before the next toss.
