Heads & Tails

So I have a tendency to put coins on my desk here, and today when I was going to put them away, I thought I should find the percentage of heads and tails. So I did a breakdown of Quarters, Nichols, Dimes, & Pennies. The breakdown goes like this:

Quarters: 4 heads, 0 tails. Nickels: 1 head, 4 tails. Dimes: 4 heads, 5 tails. Pennies: 6 heads, 5 tails.

So the percentage breakdown goes like this:

Quarters: 100% heads, 0% tails. Nickels: 20% heads, 80% tails. Dimes: 44.44% heads, 55.56% tails. Pennies: 40% heads, 60% tails.

Overall:
45.45% heads
54.54% tails


*sigh* now I guess I'll just put them away...
