Thanks for those links, really interesting. Summary for anyone who hasn't read them: Diaconis did detailed analysis and ran experiments and found that coins are biased to land the way they start, but it's a small bias in normal use (51%). The article also claims that he has trained himself to reliably flip coins so they land the same every time.
Interesting that it seems to contradict the article linked here.
