These coins are generally crafted by unscrupulous people looking to make novelty coins, props for magician tricks, or create a way to swindle people out of their money. I like to use a Double-Sided Tails version in my magic routines as spectators then don't ask to see the date, thus they don't even consider asking to hold the coin.

Similar to the film and comics examples above, in Batman: The Animated Series Harvey Dent uses one of these that gets marked on one side when he becomes Two-Face. Homestuck: Terezi has a two-headed TROLL CAEGAR which, like that of Harvey Dent, has a scratch on one side. In a situation where soldier morale is low, a general flips a coin: heads, they will win the upcoming battle; tails, they will lose. This pressures her husband, who brought the charges, to dismiss them, because he doesn't want to lose his wife. In an Aesop and Son segment of Rocky and Bullwinkle, the son uses a two-headed nickel to win a wagon full of toys, which is not the meaning of the adage "two heads are better than one".If you use two anvil dies their longer necks means that at the bottom of the stroke the die faces are closer together than they should be creating much greater pressure and a very sharp strike. I've come into the possession of a British old one penny coin with the head of King George VI stamped on both sides. Everything seems okay with the coin and the heads on both sides face to the left when the coin is spun on a vertical axis.

It is later reprised when Celes borrows the coin (if Edgar is in the party) for a similar flip against the gambler Setzer ("heads, you take us to the Empire's capital city; tails, I agree to marry you. D.: Kingdom and Empire, Pilate uses a false coin to put Caiaphas in his place after he's pushed him one too many times. This trope because the Firstblades also pass down a brass clip that fits to the hilt and crossguard unseen and weighs one end, so the Firstblade always chooses while pretending to leave things to fate. After Chance loses, he notes that Spider-Man should have more faith and tosses him the coin so Spider-Man could see the coin was a double-headed coin, ensuring Spider-Man would win the life-saving organ.

These are fairly commonly come across as two such pennies are worked and then skilfully attached together to make it look like a two-headed penny, perhaps as an aid to magic tricks or to ensure they always win a toss.

After Spider-Man catches up with him and explains things, Chance puts it down to a coin toss, infuriating Spider-Man.

Very well made, the milling on the edge particularly impressed me - the faces are courtesy of Royal Mint, I believe, so you can take their quality for granted.

If a two-headed coin is considered a cheat, the song notes, then why should anyone be surprised if a person has another side to them as well?

The hammer dies have a shorter neck so that when they retract there is clearance between them and the top of the collar so the feed fingers have room to slide the next planchet in place.When you use a hammer and an anvil die, at the bottom of the coining stroke the die faces are spaced properly for a proper strike on the coin. However when the upper die retracts, due to the extra length there would not be the clearance needed for the fingers to push the coin away. The value of such a joined coin is often more than a coin of the same condition of a normal disposition.
