Excerpt: Heads or Tails is a coin-tossing game . Most coins have a side where the imprint of a person's head, such as a current or former head of state, is impressed this side is called the "heads" side. The other side is called the "tails" side, irrespective of its design. Technically, the heads and tails sides are known as the obverse and reverse, respectively. In 1870 Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable describes heads in a similar way and details tails as being the opposite and obvious reverse to heads. The expression 'can't make head nor tail of it' expresses this concept of opposites. Generally, one person throws the coin up in the air, and the second person must predict which side of the coin will lie face up after it rests back on the ground. A correct prediction results in a win. Another variation has the person catch the coin in one hand and slap it on the back of their other hand. Traditionally, the second person calls out "heads" or "tails" while the coin is in the air. National variations The Australian game of Two-up is closely related, and involves traditionally two coins of equal value. Two-up is illegal except for on Anzac Day . Coin flipping as a game was known to the Romans as "navia aut caput" ( ship or head ), as some coins had a ship on one side and the head of the emperor on the other. A related game, Cross and Pile, was played in England for many centuries. The cross was the major design element on one side of many coins, and the Pile was the bottom part of the die used to cast the other side of the coin (see hammered coinage ). Cross and Pile is derived from the Greek pastime called Ostrakind...
