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.
It should come with some bizarre consequence, too. If it were the Oregon Trail game, there should be a tiny chance that the player finds an ancient artifact that glows and hums when touched. An alien ship swoops in and abducts the party, forcing them to join the crew. From there on, it’s a space pirate game with zero explanation why and no references in the product literature. Also, customer service pretends not to know about it, if contacted.
Even not considering that, they still aren’t 50-50 odds. The stamped printing on both sides throws off the balance just enough to bias one side over the other.

Thanks, I hate it.
