Can it effect throwing and >make wrong results may be :-) Yes, also note that I am a lefthander. If you throw with the right hand you will get totally different results of course. You also have to throw the coin reasonable high. As everyone knows the results of those short throws are totally meaningless. Only bean counters are doing this to be able to throw the coin as often as possible in a short time. And: never change the coin within a series of throws. After about 5 throws you should make a short brake because otherwise your hands temperature would influence the result of the match too much. It would be interesting to make a round robin tournament between all kind of 2 Euro coins. Best wishes, Steffen. > >Jouni Greetings, Steffen.
