Doesn't hurt as bad as a d4

Oh great, a contrarian. "Every time someone replies to me, it necessarily must be an attack that I need to squash with full force." An awesome character trait. The original point you were answering to was: A coin has 3 sides, because there are 3 potential areas where a coin can land. Your point was: Only that it can land on an area doesn't mean that that point is a side (as in a side that counts as a result). I said: Yes, even on a die there are areas where the die can stand that are not counted as sides. Now the question to you, mister contrarian: How was that a flaw to your argument? Please tell me, how a thinking human being that can read can seriously interpret that as me pointing out a flaw to your argument? I hate small ego contrarians who feel the need to constantly find attacks from all sides and if they don't find them, they make them up. It's the online equivalent of a teenager going "What are you looking at?"how dare you agree with them!!

Ideal coins are inflexible.

Ok, so a thin layer of adamantium is an ideal coin, but not a tiny disk of metallic alloy engraved with pictures, texts and values !
Well, an ideal cow is a perfect sphere, so. -
congrats on getting the joke

It can be viewed as two interlocking 'c' shapes, so it *could* be dressed as a d4, with a different value at each end of the 'c.' Alternatively, each 'c' can be considered a single side, making it a d2. Since we already have d4 well represented by the 4-sided triangle, aka tetrahedron d4, this design strikes me as more valuable as a d2
