Everything you knew about coin flipping is wrong. In 2007 a paper by Diaconis-Holmes-Montgomery developed a theoretical model of coin flipping and suggested human coin flipping results in a bias towards showing the same side.

Fair coins tend to land on the same side they started: Evidence from 350,757 Flips https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.04153 Images Creative Commons BY or public domain https://www.google.com/search?q=flip+a+coin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers#/media/File:Wright_First_Flight_1903Dec17_(full_restore_115).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BradmanAllenToss.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coin_toss_at_Super_Bowl_43_1.jpg Diaconis, Persi, Susan Holmes, and Richard Montgomery.
