The front of a penny (Lincoln's profile) or the front of any coin is called the obverse or heads side, the back of a coin is known as the reverse or tails side. There is no jargon for the side or edge of a coin. Some coins have a ridge around the edge. The process for producing that ridge is ''milling''. Also, the corrugated edge of a coin, such as the quarter, is called a ''reeded edge''. The process for creating it is called ''knurling'' or, sometimes, just ''milling''.
Simple question, difficult answer. It depends on how many times you want the penny to land on heads. The probability of a penny landing on heads once is 1 in 2. For it to land on heads twice is 1 in 4, for three times it is 1 in 8, and so on and so forth.
1/2 for penny and 1/6 for dice
A trick question - - - The technical term "heads" refers to the front or primary side of a coin, so being really picky about things, ALL coins have only one head. But - - - Lincoln cents made since 1959 have a portrait of Lincoln's head on the "heads" side and a very tiny image of his statue inside the Lincoln Memorial on the "tails" side, so you can also say that the coin has 2 heads, if you mean Lincoln's head and not the coin's head!
The two sides of a coin are referred to as "Heads" and "Tails" because, the obverse usually has somebody's "head" on it, like a King, Queen or President, etc. The reverse side is therefore referred to as "tails". Heads and tails.

If you find a penny on the heads side it is good luck if you find a penny on the tails side and pick it up it is bad luck

There are multiple designs for the first penny but generally it had lady Liberty on the obverse (heads side of the coin) and the denomination on the reverse (tails side of the coin).
The probability of heads is 0.5 or 1/2. This is wrong, the chances of a penny landing heads up is less than 0.5 because the cast in Lincoln's head weighs more than the tails side of the peeny.
There are eight possible results when flipping three coins (eliminating the highly unlikely scenario of one or more coins landing on their edge): Dime - Heads / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Heads Dime - Heads / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Tails Dime - Heads / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Heads Dime - Heads / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Tails Dime - Tails / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Heads Dime - Tails / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Tails Dime - Tails / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Heads Dime - Tails / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Tails
No. If you flip a penny (or any other standard coin) a lot of times, on average you'll get heads half the time and tails half the time so neither side is luckier than the other.
The 1912 penny was the second year King George was on the penny. 5,107,642 were minted. The designer was Sir Edward B. Mckennal for the heads side and W.H.J. Blakemore designed the tails side. It was made in Ottawa.

The probability is 0.5
The heads side of a penny holds more water because it has a slightly raised edge that creates a small barrier preventing the water from spilling over the sides. The tails side is flat and the water can easily spill off the edges.
