This is still random. Random just means the outcome is unpredictable, not that all outcomes are equally likely. If a coin flip is 60% to be heads, 40% to be tails, the results are still random.
Or, looked at another way, it's not random at all. It's a very simple function of the coin's initial state and the forces applied to it. If you knew all of those, you would be able to predict the results ahead of time.
