Coins are round pieces of metal that are used as money.

A picture of some coins.

Many coins have complex decorations; one side usually has the picture of the head on it. Most people use coins as currency.

The different decorations on each side of the coin might be used to decide things randomly. This is called "tossing the coin". You throw the coin into the air and catch it. You an look at which picture is facing up. If the head is facing up it is called "heads", if the other picture is facing up it is called "tails". Before tossing the coin you have to decide what each picture means. Tossing the coin can be the type of gambling, which is illegal (against the law) in some countries.

But it depends, of course, if something is gambled upon with the price someone risks or if it's just merely to decide something, so it's hard to take the real gambler with coins. Some people see coins as the sign as greed, such as some Communists and Puritans, who sometimes condemn over-hoarding of coins, and ascetics, who often keep, leading the "poor"-lifestyle, arefore, little in the ways of money (coins).
