The answer is not easy: it depends on the situation that you are studying. It is simple to identify all the possible outcomes of rolling a die and tossing a coin: it is the set of ordered pairs defined as the set

{(n, a), where n is an integer from 1 to 6 and a is H or T}.

In general, it is not at all simple to determine all possible outcomes. There may be outcomes that you did not expect or and make allowance for. In practise, therefore, it is sometimes best to have a category for "other outcomes".

In principal, a tossed coin could end up on its edge, or at least, end up leaning against some obstruction so that it is not flat on H or T.
