Coins are just really unbalanced three-sided dice.
The odds of a US nickel landing on its edge is about 1 in 6000. If there are any other country's coins thicker the odds would probably get better.

That extremely rare, almost-never chance of landing on the edge is exactly what I would program into a game if I made one, instead of exactly 50% odds.
I brought this up in maths class once. The teacher agreed that the edge was a possibility and since he was involved in football, they used to flip the coin and let it land on the ground. More than once it stuck in the mud in the edge.
Then told us to ignore that possibility.

Don't be ridiculous, obviously you roll a d20, subtract one, and then count how many digits the result has
Roll a d100, if it is odd 1, 2 if even
I like how you'd be rolling two d10's, and then completely ignoring one of them.

a two sided die is called a coin
Yup, my "d2" in my dice bag is a silver half dollar. Still call it my d2 though.
Came here to say this
in my day...

This gave me an idea for a gimmick die. Transparent die filled with dark liquid. The exterior of the die has the usual numbers in white lettering. Inside the die, there is a smaller cork die that rises like a magic 8ball. It’s 2d(x) in 1. Interesting for tension building, if nothing else.
Edit: looked it up and I’m not original, and they’re largely as bad as I thought they’d be

That's a weird looking coin
I've seen this shape uses as a D4. Nothing cursed about it. About as threatening to me as a Labrador puppy.
