no i mean the physical coin itself has a 1% bias on heads .. so with large enough N and perfect flips you should see 51% to 49%

Well that rules out the rest of the world. I had a choice of a pound coin, a fifty pence piece and a 5 pence piece (British currency by the way).

Oh, you specifically wanted people to use quarters? I'm not even in the US, so I used a euro.
