Is heads or tails heavier on a quarter?

Is heads or tails heavier on a quarter?

The reason: the side with Lincoln’s head on it is a bit heavier than the flip side, causing the coin’s center of mass to lie slightly toward heads. The spinning coin tends to fall toward the heavier side more often, leading to a pronounced number of extra “tails” results when it finally comes to rest.

Is the head side of a quarter heavier?

Because of the way most coins are made, the “heads” side can weigh more, which means it will fall on that side, leaving the other side up more often.
