Flipping a coin two times and reading the result as binary gang. (Don't actually do this, coins aren't as fair)

They're only off by about 1% and the bias depends on which side was up, it's not that bad. I wouldn't expect most inexpensive dice to be substantially fairer than that.

Would spinning the coin get rid of that bias?

I have not read any stats on coin spinning, so I don't know!

I suppose it's basically flipping turned 90 degrees, so it might still be affected but which face is forward when being spun.
