Double sided coins?

The card Molten Birth seems to be a good card. I have two double sided coins, one all heads and the other all tails. When playing cards that need a coin flip I alway let the other player pick heads or tail, lol like it matters. The cards dealing with coin flips don't say anything thing about not using double sided coins. So I figured it was legal.

However I was playing a friend and after wining my 100th straight coin flip. He grabbed the coin out of the air. When he saw it was double tails quater he told me I was cheating. I didn't know using a double sided coin was cheating. So that's why I'm asking if there is a rule against using doubled sided coins?

I think it's an implied "don't be a dick" rule =P

If the coin is legal tender, it is legal for flips. If you have some double sided US quarter, it is not legal. However, there are certain currencies that are two headed (Australian coins, I believe, among others) that would be legal.

Of course, you would be defeating the purpose of the card which is cheating in spirit if not technically cheating...

I would suggest saying one side is heads one side is tails for the double sided coins. If worst comes to worst, you should be fine to just roll a die and call even or odd.
